If you go with an open palm first I don't think anyone will flog you for it even though it is not the proper mechanic. I used to do this but have weaned myself off of it in effort to perfect my mechanics even though I think it is useful if you have a double whistle....just like the two fists to the hips for a block rather than open palms to the hips, it just seems smoother to me to go from one fist at the top to two fists at the hips, but that isn't the mechanic so I have weaned myself from that as well...
What other mechanics have you all seen that are consistently butchered?
