Hello Charles!
It is great to get someone's feedback. Thank you. And thank you for  
your suggestion for a new symbol. It looks good...

I didn't realize these were straight fingers. They look relaxed to me  
in the photo. I thought this was a spread-oval, rather than a spread- 
angle...

If you really like Number 6 below, then we already have that in the  
current IMWA... Jason, if you want to use Number 6 below, I can show  
you where it is located...It is in Group 5....but you could not hold  
a golf ball with number 6 below because there is too much space  
between the thumb and fingers...

I just took a look at Jason's word description from his original  
message, and he said they were holding a golf ball. That is why I  
thought it was a curve...

So I was trying to hold a golf ball...that is how number 1, 3 or 4  
were developed...they are a side view of spread ovals..all fingers  
are equally curved


Here is what Jason said:
