Yoke-shaped steering is also shaped like a low grip.
In this example, as he himself says, he is controlling the yoke steering very well, but in fact he has never gripped it in a yoke style.
He uses his right hand to grip the wheel in a low grip position and rotate it upward as he makes a left turn.
Also, it seems that it is sometimes recommended to grip a low position for airbag operation safety.
In this way, the opportunities for low grips have increased, so I would like to introduce the "low grip method" as OTEDAMA type.
First, from the bottom of the steering wheel, turn your palm up and grip the bottom part of the steering wheel.
Then, when you turn left, you only need to support the steering wheel slightly with your left hand, and start moving it while lifting the steering wheel from the bottom to the top with your right hand.
This has many benefits, such as being less likely to get tired even after a long period of time, and being able to put more effort into it.
Recently there are stories on the internet about how to grip various people, but basically, this is "Turn the steering wheel in the direction where you put your hand down using the force of gravity from the grip position. ” seems to be the basics.
However, it is true that you can easily start moving it by using the downward force, but if you do so, the position of your hand will immediately come to the bottom and you will not be able to turn it any further, and as a result, You will soon have to switch hands.
The low grip method is effective to avoid these things.
By the way, whether you are a professional driver or an amateur driver, how about trying the low-grip method to make subtle and delicate steering operations and bold steering operations easier and more reliable?
Details of how to use OTEDAMA low grip.
Applicable to yoke type steering.
==================
Effective control method of low grip
==================
Features of low grip ===
If the range of rotation with the right hand when turning left at the conventional
grip position is A and the range of rotation at the low grip position is B, then "A < B".
And while steering requires a change of hand to turn a large angle, a low grip allows the driver to turn a large enough angle while still gripping the same position.
OTEDAMA Basic Style ===
When turning left, the right hand cannot afford to turn clockwise, but it can afford to turn counterclockwise.
Therefore, when turning left, mainly use the right hand, and when turning right, mainly use the left hand.
This gives a feeling of control similar to the movement when pushing the object in front of you with the palm of your hand and moving it to the left or right.
When turning left, it is ok to assist by releasing the grip when if the left hand is about to cross.
To finish the cornering, you can return the right hand to the original grip position while holding the grip, so there will be less confusion between the left and right hands.
Even if you make a big left turn and you feel like you can't keep the grip on your right hand,
make adjustments such as pressing your right hand against the steering to make adjustments, do not move the position of the right hand that is gripping.
OTEDAMA Advanced Style 1 ===
During normal driving, the low part of the steering is gripped, and when the left turn approaches, the gripping place of the left hand is moved to the top of the steering to prepare for stable cornering.
OTEDAMA Advanced Style 2 ===
When the next corner approaches, move the grip position in advance from the basic grip position of the right hand in Fig. 1 according to the next corner, the location and the direction of rotation.
