Before starting wakeboarding I mostly slalom skied so I hold the rope with the "baseball bat" grip. Would it be to my benefit to hold the rope with both hands over the top as if I were doing a pull up? Or should I just stick to what I'm doing because its more comfortable for me?

What would be the benefits from doing it either way?

Thanks Pilecki I tried searching as I figured there would be something on it, but it was too late to sift through everything.

you really should hold it like a pull up because when you do inverts and twists and stuff it will really mess you up
