Im a recent convert to one finger braking.
Here is how mine are;
I have one finger in the last 'ditch' and i love it. Strangely does inspire confidence as above, you have more grab on the bar.
These are now changed to the same style as above but same model as the blue (found them too short to get good leverage);
Im never more than 2 fingers now and thats generally when my pads have less bite and need replacing.
I have smallish hand and i have set them up for one finger braking but i also position them so my hand is central on the grip.
