so you are saying if you were a teacher you would teach every student the same way
..... ok
I sure as hell am glad you are not a teacher .... and so are my students
... and what in the world does learning a tradition have to do with one person finding an advantage in what the next sees as a disadvantage ?
one of the major complaints in your world of generalizations about traditional grip is that there is no power for back beats .... or matched grip provides more power because the hand is on top of the stick....
well many disagree and find plenty of power in traditional grip ... and more comfortably as well
so your generalizations of "clear advantages and disadvantages" that are so obvious are clear to YOU and those who agree with you ... and that is fine .... but putting everyone in the same box is unfair and frankly extremely closed minded
what you see as a disadvantage I may see as a complete advantage .... ya dig
not everyone is in your skin
take a look at the comments of these educators and how ... just like us... they see things in many different ways
