hammer grip
Power tool grasp
A hammer grip is a way of holding an object with the fingers wrapped around it and the thumb alongside or over the fingers—the natural position for gripping a hammer.
In sports, it describes holding a racket, bat, or club this way: He uses a hammer grip on his forehand.
Weight lifters use the term for gripping a dumbbell with the palm facing inward.
