Re: Grip tension
I hold my sticks very loose, but still sometimes have this problem when I don't warm up properly. When I get ripping right away, my grip tightens up and I get this pain.
The situation also improved when I changed my grip from being mainly thumb and index finger, to being more of a thumb, index and middle finger thing. I saw Dave Weckle describe this grip on Youtube, and it works really well for me. You move the index finger further out on the stick. To me, this grip feels more efficient too.
Good luck!
