Tips on Grip Stunted pinky

Postby asifx3me » Aug 7th, '10, 04:02



i have a stunted pinky ( shorter than normal) and im having problems with getting a pinky break on a get ready DL cause the pinky is smaller than normal its just abit lower than the top cards.

my hands arent big my palms bigger with shorter fingers, can handle a poker size deck its just the pinky problem.

any tips on grips or positioning of the cards will be appreciated.

You mention being able to hold poker sized fine. Have you thought about bridge sized decks?

Just a thought...

Push off and catch a brake with the second finger?

I am master of misdirection, look over there.

We are not falling out young Welshy, we are debating, I think farlsy is an idiot he thinks I am one. We are just talking about who is the bigger idiot.

How much shorter is it?and are both of your pinkies the same?
From what i am hearing surely a pinkie only needs to be the length, of the thinkness of a deck of cards, and a little bit.either change hands,or get a ring finger break,just because its called a pinkie break,you dont have to use your pinkie,when you do a thumb count it is essentially a thumb break isnt it.

use an inside break and use the fleshy part at the base of your thumb?
