But your hand would be pushing forward on the drops, no different than when your hand is on the hood, right? Does your hand pull backwards on the drops?

As I said before- it's impossible to do a traditional figure-8, or one-sided-figure-8, without covering up at least some of the indentations on this R2000 brifter. Whereas with this new method, it's very easy to avoid all the indentations. I did it the first time around, no contortions at all. The other benefit is that it's less bulky than figure-8.
