OK,
So I read this thread and tried about 30 throws by my count. 10 with my standard power throw grip (Index/middle below, Thumb on top), 10 with the modified Bonapane, and 10 with the original Bonapane. I threw out in Glenwood field with my 4-favorite drivers 2-Lat64 Bolts, 1-Vision, 1-Halo. I had a tailwind on around 10-15 MPH was my guess. I have always struggled to keep the nose of the disc down, I usually remind my self to keep "Nose down - Head down" as I get ready for my run up on the tee pad. But it never fails at the last minute I pick that nose up enough to cost me distance and I usually land just inside or outside of 350'. After all those throws I realized I was gaining around 60' with the modified Bonapane, and 80' with the original Bonapane on average per throw. I am sold on this grip for an open field all out shot, but I can see how it would be difficult to control the disc flight if you needed a tight line to the pin. Thanks for the Suggestion, this could be a real game changer for me on an all out distance shot!
