Check out this video that shows people Nordic walking. Notice the backswing of the people in the video.
- As they push the Nordic walking poles back to propel themselves forward, notice how they completely let go of the poles.
- Letting go of the poles gives them a bigger backswing, allowing them to fully extend their arms and work their upper body to a greater degree.
One thing not to worry about is losing control of the poles. The gloves will keep you in full control of the poles all the time.
