It would seem to me that a different grip would mean one where the fingers are in a different angle, such as drag or sloper or pinch.
Thanks that's what I thought, I'll try adding some pinches and use the slopers instead of the pockets.
How important is it to train different grip types? I tried that Chris Webb Parsons fingerboard training plan a while back and that only had one grip type (half crimp). I used to train pockets but now I just train front three and back three in the open, half crimped and full crimped positions. I haven't found that I get shut down on pocket moves yet (especially mainly climbing in the UK). Having said that I did get shut down on a shallow mono move the other day!
