Actually this helps. I was thinking about disregarding Morrow's because he's a semi-pro, but screw it. All we need is a 12000 or so claw user now.

Sorry Morrow

. No hard feelings.

So far: 29 finger grip users; average of 3833, 19 palm users; average of 5258, and 14 claw users; average of 3353.

Finger users are at a disadvantage considering their numbers, and claw users should be doing a lot better. Given, if you add a 12000 player (both palm and finger groups have these) to the claw grip group, the average spikes to 3971.

well mines actually like 3/4 palm 1/4 claw, the entirety of the right/bottom portion of my hand rests on the mouse and my thumb is flat, but my index finger and the top left portion of my palm arches up

Holy shit. I never even thought about this before.

I just tried the "palm grip" and noticed how much more comfortable it is.

I've been holding my mouse the wrong way for years, haha.

It's more comfortable but definately slower. I'd like to see someone have over 350 apm with a full palm grip without their arms and shoulders exploding.

Fingertip

Max rank B with 7200~ but could probably hit B+ if i put alot more effort and mass gaming.

180-200 apm

I use both palm and fingertip but when i play sc only using fingertip feels more right and i can give more precise and faster actions.

Claw looks so wierd lol

I use something in between palm/fingertip, it seems to be mostly palm though.
Also depends on the mouse I'm using, a small one I have to just use my fingers, large one I can put my whole palm on it.

Max ~6000 (earned in non-kor timezone of course

)

Palm
D 1300
Race: Terran
APM: I generally get around 160-200

My hand basically sits perfectly over the mouse so the palm grip is the most comfortable.

I think it mostly depends on the mouse how you keep it. I use fingertip (B- 67%) and I dont think this has anything to do with the skill level.
I use different grips with different mouses.

I'd like to see APM added to this data.

I don't use a mouse at work, but from what I recall this should be correct:

~~The Palm Grip~~ EDIT: Sorry I just checked I have the "claw" grip

I actually don't know. I'd normally palm grip a mouse, but I can't fit my whole hand on a mini optical, so I dunno really, I end up doing a combination of claw and palm by the looks of things.

Clear this up for me?
