    that's a twisted grip. You can try other grips that are much easier and safer on the shoulder. Ask them if you can use cup grip, veena grip, or claw grip instead. I like claw grip personally.

    May I ask what the claw grip is? Never heard of that before.

    When your back is to the pole, the arm that is on the same side as your mounting shoulder goes up and behind the pole, with the pole between your pointer and middle finger. Your non mounting side, the arm does a regular cup grip.

    At Bobbi’s studios, there is only Bobbi’s way 😉 At my previous studio, they taught S/M with cup grip. I recently had a private with Jamilla and she showed me a couple of different grips as well.
    Am having trouble visualising claw grip – where do your other fingers go?

    yuor pointer finger and thumb go on one side of the pole and the other 3 go on the other side of the pole.

    Sorry I must be stupid, I’m still struggling to understand how this is even physically possible! I will have to see if I can find a picture…

    @hazi–look at the PFA website on their visual dictionary. They have a photo there of the claw grip.
