| When I started recurve archery, the very high grip was the fashion. I was told that it gave minimum contact with the bow therefore less chance of torque. Later I read that the high grip put lots of strain on the wrist and only the very strong could use it successfully. Low grips have been growing in numbers since then as far as I am aware.
From my own point of view, if I use a high grip, my wrist is always tending to drop and become a low one. With a low grip I can relax and it will stay, there is no tendency for it to become high. |
