Hi, Group....
I've only gotten a few answers on this little "quiz".
Since I know this will take some reading and looking up answers, I don't want to send my own answers until more of you have had a chance to tackle this. Some e-mailings got bounced, so I'm forwarding this again, in case some of you didn't get it the first time.
Hint: Sometimes you can see the grip used as you watch the author's video......or check out pictures in his/her publications.

Group......
Let's try some questions on GRIP :-
1.) Is a particular grip an essential.....or a matter of style ?
2.) Try to list some advantages and disadvantages of these grips:
a.) Forefinger on top grip.
b.) Thumb on top grip
c. ) The "FREE WRIST GRIP"
d.) The "Three point grip".
e.) The "V" grip
f.) The "TLT" grip.
g.) The Roman Moser grip.
h.) The "PRIMARY GRIP."
i.) The Extended Finger grip.
j.) The, "WRIST ACTION GRIP".
3.) Which of the above grips is usually used by the following fly casting/flyfishing authors:-
a.) Joan Wulff
b.) Lefty Kreh
c.) Gary Borger
d.) Roberto Pragliola
d.) Jason Borger
f.) Doug Swisher
g.) Steve Rajeff
h.) Ed Jaworowski
i.) Ernie Schwiebert
j.) John Alden Knight
k.) Vincent Marinaro
l.) Jim Green
m.) Hugh Falkus
n.) Frank Steel
o.) Charles Ritz
p.) Mac Brown
q.) Joe Humphries
r.) Floyd Franke
s.) Bill Gammel
Take your time with this one.....and don't guess.
I don't expect any of us will know all these answers. A quiz like this, if tackled well ,will have you breaking out some books......and in the process of learning these items of casting minutia, you will doubtless learn many other things as well.
I'll be away for 6 days......hope to see some attempts at answering this quiz when I get back.
