Does the European Shank keep your ring from spinning

[Mainer]

I have large knuckles and thin fingers. My ring keeps turning under. I have tried sizing balls. Not only do they not work they hurt. Does anyone out there have a European shank and did or does it keep your ring from turning into your palm?

I have a euro shank and several "regular" shanks - and no I can't say it prevented spinning much. Perhaps a bar instead of balls would help?

It does help. Like when driving the rotation of the steering wheel would turn the ring but not so on the euro shank. It can still turn though so unless you're constantly gripping something then it might not make much difference.

Mine doesn't spin as much but it still slides sideways a little bit. It is a RHR. I find the band comfortable.

Thanks for the input. It helps me decide. Has anyone else had experience with European shank?

Have you considered adjustable shanks? Stuller makes them.

I didn't even know adjustable shanks existed. Sounds like a good idea. Have you used one? Do they keep the ring from turning and are they comfortable?

I haven't used one but there are many PSers who have. If you search this forum for "adjustable shank," lots of helpful threads come up like this one [URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/where-can-i-buy-an-adjustable-setting.107170/']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/where-can-i-buy-an-adjustable-setting.107170/[/URL]
