Using the tennis racket bevel diagram on this page;

...is a full western grip a sort of 'hammer' grip where your index, middle, ring and pinky knuckles are all over bevel 5 (the bottom of the racket)? This grip doesn't feel that extreme to me.
So I was wondering if a full western grip was a 'pistol' type grip (where the index knuckle is on a different bevel to the other knuckles) where the index knuckle is on bevel 5, but by the time you get to the pinky knuckle, the pinky knuckle is over bevel 6? This feels much more extreme. Is that grip the 'full western grip', or the 'Hawaiian grip'?
