Chef- The tone you are getting on the Grub sounds good to me. Does it sound good to you. I think that is what matters. If you produce a tone that pleases you then you have succeeded. The problem is that the quest for better tone seems to be an endless journey. It might become boring otherwise?
When I am playing and am loose and everything is clicking I notice the whole system is loose. That doesn't mean a lot of movement, but relaxed. From the fist, to the wrist , to the arm and in the shoulder. The whole body is making the music, not just an appendage. When tension enters the equation the music begins to I continue to try to play with a relaxed closed fist but it is a hard habit to get into, my fingers like to be out. I personally find it very easy to become tense when my hand is closed. Remember, you're already getting good tone and that is something a lot of pickers struggle with.
