Yeah I just need 1/8 of an inch for my pinky to set over 1/2 way on the grip and help me feel like I have a secure grip.That’s how I did mine and it turned out perfect.. I would think the exact “perfect” result would be different for each person. For example I did not need to remove very much material to eliminate the rubbing on my knuckle, but I have bigs hands so my grip and contact point is going to be different.
