Hand Span?

Tue Jan 04, 2005 8:00 am

What's your hand span... The distance from the tip of your little finger to your thumb? Plus, what's the distance between wrist and tip of middle finger?

Little finger/thumb: 9 inches
Wrist/Middle finger: 7 inches =)

The things I do for PPT...

Little finger/thumb: 21,5 cm
Wrist/Middle finger: 18 cm

But what did to mean with the tip of your little finger to your thumb? Which area of the thumb? ...?

Edit: Okay, so if I stretch appart my thumb and little finger as much as possible and measure the distance between their tips... well, check above ^

By openning your hand as much as possible and stretching the little finger as far as possible away from thumb tip? The distance =)

Hmm. As soon as I find a ruler that's more than 6 inches, I can tell you...

I have little hands but long fingers.

Right Hand
Thumb-pinky: 8.5 inches (21.5 cm)
Middle-Wrist: 7.5 inches (19 cm)

EDIT: Dude, Paul and Silja got massive paws.

Pinky to thumb: 8.4375 inches or 215 millimeters (I don't know if I stretched my span the same for both measurements, so they could be slightly different)

That's my left hand. My right hand is significantly smaller--almost by half an inch. My left hand can play a tenth if it has to, but my right can only stretch a ninth (though a very comfortable ninth.)

Wrist to middle finger: 6.75 inches or about 165 millimeters.
