Grip training idea.

I just thought of a way to get people to stop using the 'death grip'.

I cut myself in the kitchen, and the band-aid is right around the first joint on my (middle) finger. It really limits how much the finger can bend at that joint.

So I noticed that you can't wrap your fingers around the cue if they're bandaged like this. I'm gonna use this the next time someone has 'death grip' issues, I think it'll force them to use a lighter, more useful grip on the cue...

Earl figured that out years ago. I tried it with the tape, like Earl but gave up on it.

Another thing that might work well is that bandage material that has no adhesive but if you wrap it around the area you want to protect or restrict, it holds well. Removing it is a snap, too. Probably kind of expensive but I haven't priced it out.
