Turn each hand 45 degrees for a strong grip

For the strong grip this speaker advocates, rotate the lead hand internally 45 degrees and the trail hand externally 45 degrees, then slide the hands together. Maintain the position, point the hands down, and stand up from the seated-chair position to arrive at the ball.

Try it

  1. 45 degrees of internal, like this with the lead
  2. 45 degrees of external with the trail
  3. we just slide them together
  4. we just point down and stand up

Why this context matters

This is explicitly the speaker's advocated strong-grip setup.
