South Korean handshape

[Jason Hopkins]

I independently showed both Val's shapes then Charles' shapes to my friends.  After taking a while, they both said Val's number 3.  Then I showed them Charles' shapes.  Both liked his front view without any discussion.  After think a bit, they both agreed Charles' symbols were enough different from the others to clearly show the shape.

The only comment was the connection of the fingers to the base should be a bit more evenly distrubuted.

I like these the best.  I need to show them all to my Korean friend today and see which of all the symbols he thinks feel most natural.  Also to my Swedish friend to see which works for her.  

Thanks for all the help.

Try this one, comparing to some of the other handshapes that use fingers pointed at the reader, it's hard to show accurately.  The more I look at it, the more I think that
 the symbol 01-05-008 Five Fingers Hinge is already in the system.

If one moves the hand either up or down, it forms that rose shape that we seem to be talking about.

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
