Timujin, I think the bit that's been missing in this thread, is not your understanding. I think it's the averages thing, rather than the individual's bow(s)
Let me explain it like this. Most compounds with 65% let off,peaking at 60# should hold at 21#.
Most recurves, weighing in at45#, hold at 45#. double that of the compound.
Bearing in mind they sell to lots of archers, they go for the average in order to suit most customers. I skinny grip on a recurve could cause comfort problems and lost sales.
As I am nothing like Mr average(not even close to Mrs average either) I have always modified my grips to suit me, not a theory based on Joe Blogs.
I try to get the grip to do three things
Support my hand in the position I believe to be the correct one.
Tell me something is wrong if I don't fit my hand in properly.
Produce as little torque as possible.
(perhaps your bows, on your holding weights, are equally difficult to torque; but that is not the average situation. I can twist my compound in my hand quite easily with its low holding weight. I can't do that with a 45#recurve.)
I hope that helps.
