The misconception is that the three fingers are used to grab things. When was that last time you played the three prong claw game? The one that tries to grab the doll and usually drops it? Its pretty hard to grab with three fingers too.
So what is a dragon claw? The dragon claw actually grabs using the pinky and ring finger. That is why it is flexed; it represents the grab. the other fingers remain relaxed.
Wait… but thats two fingers! Isn't that worse that three fingers?
Wrong. It is not 2 fingers. It is 2 fingers and a palm. I regularly use this hand posture when driving and it gives me plenty of grip.
