Toko grip

Sorry about the multiple posts, but I also read about having the Toko
grips offset by about 10 degrees. I noticed that the tab slot on my
poles are directly in line with the basket and not offset. So, is this
10 degree offset necessary? Which direction is this 10 degrees (I know
it depends on the pole, so is the rotation of the tab slot toward the
body or away from the body)? Thanks in advance.

Yes, I think you should rotate in the thumb shelf at least 10 degrees.
I have mine about 30 degrees! It depends how you like to hold your
arms. But it feels more powerful to me to have my elbows out to the
side and not pulled in close to my body. Feels like a more natural
position - like a gorilla!

Probably the easiest way to do this is to heat up the tip in boiling
water and then rotate it as desired.
