holding single convex stones

Post by nedpatrick »

Is there a special way to hold and place single convex stones or do you just use the traditional middle finger over index finger technique?

Same technique is normal, as far as I know. I've never seen anyone do differently.

Same technique. The flat side "snaps" nicely on the board, and some people like to flip it over and have the convex side down for variations.
