The trekking pole thread got me thinking about a problem I have with my poles. When I hold the poles in the standard way, with hand coming up through the loop and holding pole and strap, I eventually have my hand start to go numb. I find it more comfortable to spin my hand once and let it fall to fall to the bottom of the strap. This allows a light hold lower on the pole and the strap is still holding all the weight on the blade side of the hand near the wrist. This configuration seems to be much more comfortable for me. I still try to hold it in the "correct" way, but switch back to the more comfortable position.
Any ideas on getting used to correct position? Or should I just stick with what seems to work?
