Generally speaking

A neutral, weaker left hand grip is more prone to a full roll type of release, whereas a stronger left hand grip allows for more of a IOTR type release.

New to the site, and I just want to learn. Someone let me know if I'm way off base here.

You are not way off base at all

Thanks for the reply, good to know. It's frightening to strengthen the grip and stand over the ball, I feel like it's going to go "quack." I've always played from the other position. Now that I'm trying to adopt the IOTR move, I had issues with my weaker grip and hitting some big push-cuts. Sound accurate?

Without seeing it that certainly sounds possible

As Kevin said, very possible. Realize though that you don't have to go super strong, just slightly stronger than NSA neutral.

I've always been about 1 1/2 knuckles on the left. Going two feels silly. I'm glad I already passed my PAT, because the way I'm hitting it now, I'd have had some trust issues, you know? Thanks for the input you guys. It's much appreciated.
