Two hands closer on handle

[shazie]

Someone told me today, it is a newer technique or method that when you hold the handle, hold with two hands close together, as opposed to having them apart like we normally do. I'm not explaining it well, but the reason said was something like our body position will already in place, locked.

Actually, I've seen one of the guys on "the book" doing a Hs180 holding the handle this way. Anyway, I tried and I felt uncomfortable. I'm much better the old way.

Any thoughts, is it more advantages to hold the handle this way?

for some tricks it can help a little bit, not much though. dont do it for any tricks that have a handle pass involved. not worth it holding the handle that way imo.
