Many players don’t even realize they’re using the wrong posture because it often feels normal at first.

In the first example shown, the hand posture is incorrect. This position can limit natural movement, create unnecessary tension, and make playing feel harder than it needs to be.

Over time, using the wrong hand posture can lead to stiffness, fatigue, or difficulty improving technique.

In the second example, the hand posture is corrected. This right posture allows the hand to stay more balanced, relaxed, and responsive.

When the hand is aligned properly, movement becomes smoother and more efficient, and control improves without extra effort.

The key difference between wrong and right hand posture isn’t force, it's alignment and awareness.

When the hand is positioned correctly, it works with your body instead of against it. This makes learning easier and helps prevent bad habits from forming.

If you’ve ever felt awkward, tense, or uncomfortable while using your hands, posture may be the reason. Small adjustments can make a big difference, especially when practiced consistently.

This short demonstration is meant to help you visually recognize the difference between wrong and right hand posture, so you can correct it early and build better habits moving forward.

Watching, comparing, and adjusting your own hand position step by step is one of the fastest ways to improve.

Pay attention to how the correct posture feels, not just how it looks. The goal is ease, balance, and natural movement. When your hand posture improves, everything else becomes simpler.
