Build the left-hand grip fingers first

Run the handle across the base pads of the left-hand fingers on a slight diagonal, from the base of the index finger to just below the pinky pad. Close the fingers around the handle first, then fold the left hand over; the resulting crease by the thumb should point through the base of the collarbone toward the right shoulder.
