Girl’s (age 7-8) Gloving Technique?

On my bodybuilding.com forum the question of a retarded coaching idea was discussed. He asked the girls to stick pinky and ring finger into the pinky slot and Index and middle fingers into the index slot. Anyone ever heard of this? What would be the bennifit? Learning a bad habbit?
Thanks in advance.

this is a really usefully technique i used ever since i was 13 years old and i wish i would of heard of it sooner. it really helps because it allows you to squeeze the ball better and opens up the pocket it is really usefully mostly for outfielders. what you do is you stick your ring finger in with your pinky into the pinky slot and shift the rest of the fingers over leaving the thumb in its normal place. it would be best to leave your index finger inside of the glove rather than having it stick out (if your playing outfield.) it is in no way a bad habit i still use that technique in mens/co-ed softball since I’m done with baseball already. it really does no harm it only enhances the player.
