3. you most probably have to grip the bell hard with or without the callous. Especially snatching really heavy hardstyle hooking the bell in the fingertips would be business for @bencrush or @Geoff Chafe...
This is interesting, I've been working in the 28k snatching and have been hook gripping it, it's ok but puts some strain on the forearm as I tend to naturally goose neck the grip a bit on the down swing. Maybe the goose necking is an indicator the finger hooks are somewhat overloaded. Anyway it's been on my mind, callous gripping is alot easier on the forearms but harder on the hands with increased volume.3. you most probably have to grip the bell hard with or without the callous.

Doing this really lightens the load for me..Another cue I use for myself on the drop is snatching "through the rack." The idea of this is that even though I am not actually bringing the bell down into the rack position, I want to pull my elbow down and in to my body and keep the bell path close to vertical and close to my body, almost as if it is passing through the rack position without being caught there. Keep in mind this is more of a cue than a literal instruction/description.
