A Past Post That Needs To Be "Stickied".....Stick Grip....
Cut and pasted from an earlier post of mine.
I'm actually really surprised at the amount of students that come to my place, having had lessons with previous tutors and rarely has the tutor pointed out any bad grip and posture problems! Grr....this is not good! Which is why with very few exceptions, I insist teaching for an hour, because within the first 5-10 mins I'm correcting posture, stick grips, pedal and seat adjustments and so on. It seems these little areas get neglected because the tutors in question get too preoccupied with teaching a latest style and forget showing technique fundamentals.
Ok, a few vids to show
