Closed bridge do you keep wrist or turn them in

[offaxis]

I have been tinkering with my closed bridge. Ive been told by a few to turn my wrist in. I have tried this but it feels weird an slightly uncomfortable. Is there a preferred or right way. Just looking for some opinions or any thoughts on this....Thanks!

My thought is whatever is stable and comfortable for YOU is the best closed bridge for you.

+1 on this. You have to be comfortable with it so it doesn't affect the smooth flow of your stroke...

Turn it in enough when bridging open so the ridge is in line. On the closed bridge, it depends what kind you use. If you use a hoppe style bridge for example, then the open bridge ridge concept applies. I do think a stable ridge goes a long way - and for many of the finger positions to create them, you'll find you need to turn your hand in. That said I have no idea what your normal wrist position is and it could be fine the way it is.

Thumb against knuckle on index finger then i arch with my fourth finger. My are an wrist are straight out. However a fellow thinks that im accidentally hiting my middle finger causing cue to wobble a little.
