Guard fingers

So while extracting a 28 today I was advised by Dr. Coles that my supporting finger on the luxator should be as close to the working end as possible so that if the instrument was to slip then it would contact the guard fingers before the instrument slipped too far. Very useful stuff. An issue i have with this is that if my fingers are that far down then the butt of the instrument doesn't sit nicely into my palm. More practice is needed.
