The grip I'm working on is a thumb-and-index-finger pincer that grips the cue at two points on opposite sides, allowing a hinge-like pivot as the angle between cue and hand changes throughout the pendulum swing. The trick is trusting it will do the job under all circumstances

you did not approve
i asked there but will also ask here
how would you describe/teach the best grip???
 
The best grip is not to grip the cue at all. The best way is to think of it as cradeling the cue in your hand. Or perhaps a hammock... As light and gentle as you can be without dripping it..

Contact with two fingers should be adequate. No squeezing necessary. I use my first two fingers since they tend to be more sensitive. The other two stay relaxed and as motionless as possible. I just let them dangle. Teaching them to open and close seems a waste of time and could encourage them to become involved, which I think is counterproductive.
