        Okay so ever since i switched from my glove to a tab I moved my figers from shooting from the tips of my fingers to a much deeper string grip, a bit behind the first joint of my fingers on to the second pad. Im just wondering if anyone knows of any reason this deeper grip on my string hand might have some negative effects on my shooting. I feel more comfortable shooting this way I just dont want to develop bad habits

          A deep grip is good. Shooting off the tips of your fingers is generally not good. It causes all sorts of problems like crabbing.

          If you can maintain that deep grip, you are doing well. When I get sloppy, I find myself allowing the string to move towards the tips of my fingers.

          Get deep, stay deep, avoid the creep.
