> I'm not sure if I explained it right. Basically my question is does it matter if my thumb is resting on top of my index finger or if it is resting between my middle and index finger (like making a fist)??

Dave,

For most mortals, the thumb is resting on top of the index and middle fingers near the first joints, with the thumb bent on its first joint...almost like a fist(your term), but not quite. Remember, the handle of the bat rest on the fingers and not deep in the palm. More important, does it feel comfortable?
