I've always like the fists, especially in a block/charge situation. The fists, when needed, help me to sell the call. Evaluators will always comment on the fists rather than the correct open hands. Hard habit for me to break. At least I'm halfway there (site/reporting area).

I am not really talking about whether they use NF Mechanics or not. I am simply saying that there are many places where no one is splitting hairs if you use a closed fist or an open hand whether it is on block call or what we affectionately call a "hack." Some places are more anal than others when it comes to those kinds of things. And I have never read anywhere that the NF wants such a technical application of such signals anyway. This is usually someone that sees the picture and thinks if you do one thing out of place something is drastically wrong. That is not always the case in different parts of the country one way or the other.
