hi alan, i really enjoyed your all thumbs lecture on youtube ().
the sliding corkscrew motion for the thumb is great, but i would like to hear more about finger corkscrews.
with the thumb corkscrew, the thumb rotates as it slides out, and the hand creases. what happens when you finger-corkscrew correctly? i can't get a rotating element of course, and my hand uncreases. all good? what SHOULD i be looking out for?
thanks deeply as always,
tom

ok ok, so I couldn't resist and have forked up the dosh for the All Thumbs book! No doubt all my questions will be answered there. But any insights will still be gratefully received, along with any rumours about future New Zealand tours....?

Hi, I have just finished a major summer teaching and recital tour, so have not been on the forum in ages. My apologies for my long absence.
The finger of course cannot rotate as much as the thumb so its corkscrewing capacity is more limited - but not non-existent.
