    Weird question i know but i seem squeeze the life out of my controller when holding it during batting. Idk i feel like when i have a firm grip it helps me concentrate more. However i think this is causing me to miss a lot more pitches haha. Do you guys juat hold it loose and calm?

    I don't know how I hold it, but sometimes when I am slumping I choke up on the controller by repositioning the tip of my thumb in a more perpendicular angle upon the left joystick.

    Directional

    I don’t even hold it. It’s sitting on my desk and I have 1 finger on the X button. I just sit back, watch a movie, play with my dog and sometimes I’m eating dinner just waiting for those beautiful, easy pitches down the middle the game forces my opponent to throw.

    I played a couple games using zone today and it was nerf city. Directional is the move and this game will reward you!!

    Hold it like you hold a woman’s breast, soft and supple.... or as my friends dad said on the golf course ( we said this talking about putters) his dad goes “What with your mouth?!” Lol

    Toe positioning? I've found that my second toe has the right amount of finesse to check swing consistently while my big toe mashes power swing.

    You see, I’m quite the opposite. I’ve found my big toe has an incredible amount of delicacy.

    I tend to wrap my foot around the side of the controller, using my 4th toe for baserunning.

    I taught isometric drawing to a kid with no arms a few years back. Used his foot to write and draw. Inspired me to experiment with using Makey Makeys to create accessible user interfaces.

    Not taking the [censored] here either. Kid was awesome. Loved swimming competitively. He’d make a valuable contribution to this discussion, no doubt.

    Im more curious not the grip of controller but left analog/thumb. I picked up some kontrol freeks. Tip on the freek or more meat of the thumb? Playing on tv so maybe the input lag contributes to the being late often on moving pci, especially on the heater.
