Little wary about cutting the hand attachment. I'd be more likely not to slip my fingers through and just balance it only knuckles if I was that worried about it.
What ended up working the best for me was inserting it after Step 11 and then using Steps 12 through 14 to really lock it in there. First time (12), half-width of the wrap along the base of the NG, so it won't shift towards the wrist. Second time (13), about half-width of the wrap along the edge of the NG along the fingers, then tucking it in so it won't shift distally. Third time (14), wrapping with the edge of the wrap at the base of the NG (the rest below) to really lock in that first pass and make sure it can't drift towards the wrist. The second pass was usually enough to keep it from drifting towards the fingers, that's why I didn't bother putting it on before wrapping between the fingers. Keeping the fingers in the hand attachment also helps with this. Of course, I haven't spent that much time on the heavybags with it yet, so I may revise this later.
With the Reyes Compression wrap, it's not long enough to go through the fingers anyway, so I just do a lot of X-wraps across the back of the fists, secure the NG, and secure the thumb. Works okay so far and it's way less bulky, but the velcro placement's a little weird and it may not be as supportive for the wrists as I'm used to due to the flexibility - but if I pull it too tight, I start cutting circulation. The NG-2 + Reyes Compression wrap combo feels about perfect in the Reyes 16oz velcros; will just have to see what the wrist support's like.
