I always grip my poles with my thumb outside of the strap and the the four fingers in. Its a really loose way of grabbing so if I fall hard my pole it will come off but if i slip out or pole plant or something small and my pole starts to get ripped from my hand I can still hold on by the strap. Best of both worlds.

Broke mine when I over rotated the shit out of a backflip and basically landed thumb first. Hurt like a bitch. A brace is the only thing I see as a preventative measure. Skiing with a cast in 5-10 degree weather SUCKED. Straight up cold conductor.
All times are Eastern (-4)
