Jedd Johnson Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Hey everybody.I was getting ready to shoot some videos for my site, TGA, on proper execution of the events at King Kong, and I realized I wasn't sure of the proper execution of the Shallow Hub.I thought there was a video, but I couldn't find it. Specifically, I wasn't sure on the hooked thumb rule, so I sent a note to David Horne to get the clarification. I knew that only the fingertips, defined as the distal phalanges, were emphasized, but wanted to make sure about the thumb. This is what David sent me, and he asked me to post it here in case there were any questions."The thumb, and index and middle finger can only grasp the Shallow Hub by the end phalange. If you bend your thumb, then no other part of the phalange above can touch. You will probably find that a part of the medial phalange will touch if you do bend your thumb." I checked with Andrew and he said it would be OK to post this here. My take is that you can curl the thumb, but you're still only supposed to contact the hub's surface with the distal phalanx. I take that to mean contact above the knuckle is disallowed, and that's what I will be passing on to the members of TGA. Hope this helps your preparation and can reduce confusion. Take care. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackdog Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Any news on the California venue? I would like to go. This will be my first comp ever. I live in Central California next to Yosemite National Park, but go north and south regularly. Los Angeles and San Francisco are close to the same distance 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Roussin Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 Yes, there will be a California venue. I suggest getting in touch with Evan Raftopoulos for address details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
