    thumb position in cast handstand

    My dd just switched gyms. She learned to do a cast handstand with her thumb wrapped around the bar on the opposite side from her fingers. Her new coach wants her thumb next to her fingers, and dd is afraid she's going to fall. Is keeping your thumb next to your fingers the prefered way?
