Re: Regarding the Retaining Feature
Check the team updates! The retaining feature may now extend up to 2" below the fingers. (I think it was in #5). There are also several threads already talking about this.

Though using a steel rod or torus is out (an early question answered).

IIRC, every team update except 6 has tweaked the rope rules, and it is possibly the most asked topic on the Q&A.
