Put some tape on the handle of the stick below you want his hand to be and every time the hand slips above it the player will know and they will learn the correct position in time Bram

If this doesn't work, there is another tool, namely the use of postman rubber band. You are continuing this with a large loop to the convex side of the stick at the place off the right hand. The right hand of the player slips from the top by this loop and you can maken the correct grip. You can now rotate the stick but if the player wants to move the right hand to the top of the stick the rubber band will give an correction..
