I haven’t really found a solid answer to this. Whenever I am doing 2-handed shield casts or mills, I thought I should basically swing the club in the direction of the hand that is placed on top. It was just something I’d seen on different people’s videos performing the movements. But then I also see people going in both directions with just one hand placement and they seem to be fine. Are there any specific rules for which hand goes on top when doing 2-handed club moves?

My main form of training is usually kettlebell complexes. I really like club work though, and wondered if there would be any major downsides to doing some sets of the aforementioned movements as finishers, but on a daily basis. Because the movement pattern is different than what I’m doing with KB complexes I usually feel like I have a little extra gas in the tank for club work. What do yall think?

I have been building up my small collection of clubs through Facebook Marketplace, and picked up an Onnit 10 lbs. club and 20 lbs. club. I hurt my TFCC doing 1 hand mills with the 10 lbs. one a few months ago and while it’s mostly healed, I feel it is still a bit extra sore after my workouts. So I’ve been focusing on 2 hand shield casts and mills with the 20 lbs. one. It’s not particularly challenging but good at getting my heart rate up.

I recently got an insane deal on a Titan Fitness 35 lbs. club, bought for $80. But I am definitely a little apprehensive about starting anything with it due to how bad that TFCC injury was. What would be the safest way for me to work up to this new club when I don’t have any in between weights to use?
