[Yoda]

Yoda - would agree with the 'image' and 'feel' that once the hands find their proper alignments, it is as if they are lightly wrapped in an ace bandage, from the wrists and around the hands. That it is this entire 'unit' that is rolled (swingers) and/or the cross line hitting motion (hitters)

The Hands in their correct alignments absolutely operate as a precisely coordinated unit. Only by doing so are they able to maintain the alignments and structure of the Flying Wedges Assembly (6-B-3-0-1).

For lighter Grip Pressures, your 'gauze' analogy is effective as far as it goes. I would suggest first wrapping the Right Hand, Wrist and Forearm separately -- better yet, put it in a cast (my personal Feel) -- to preclude any vertical or horizontal motions. It is also important that the 'gauze' not prevent the Left Wrist's Vertical Cocking and Uncocking Motions. Finally, to help a student find his own ideal Grip Pressure, I would suggest the student experiment with even tighter 'wraps.'
