I hate having my finger stick out. Its annoying, and uncomfortable. Yea, my finger takes a lil abuse sometims from a ball striking it dead on, but oh well. Most people i know do have their finger stick out, i cant stand it.
That was hinted at by Bruce Miles when he wsa last here. He called this a "crucial moment in hendry and dusty's relationship" He's giving him a chance to play the kids, if he doesnt, the relationship may go sour.
