And, the research has been done across generations. The caveat, as always, is that one cannot conclude anything about a specific individual based on data about a group. 3) "Novice" does not imply any particular generation, although I did assume you are of the generation that never had to wait more than a couple of minutes to defrost your TV dinner.... "Novice" implies that one is just beginning. One could be a novice at my advanced age and an expert at your tender years. Age is not necessarily the issue. If we didn't think you yourself were willing to put in the time, we'd not be bothering to give the hints. I am sure you will do fine...

I have a problem with smaller hands, so sometimes I get mangled up too...

Here's some advice if your having dificulty try using a poker chip or a bottle cap.. The lighter weight and sharper edge will make it easier to grip.. This will let you focus more on the proper hand position rather than worrying about it falling out.. Then once you have that down, with your opposite hands fingers press a coin deeply into palm of your palming hand, with your hand flat Clench and unclench onto the coin, excercising the palm muscles.
