Another tip
Jim,
Another tip occurred to me just now. Whilst flying with two or three fingers for minor corrections is great in the cruise or in gentle maneuvering, in the circuit and landing phase, or steep turns and stalls, where you need greater force and more movement, that won't work as well.
My solution to that one is to not hold the yoke with my whole hand as though it were a pistol, but to just curve my fingers around the yoke using only the first two pads/knuckles, and then the first pad of the thumb. It gives you a positive grip, enough strength to get the job done, but won't let you get a hamfisted strangle on the yoke.
