Faulty Wii Motion Pluses in the U.K.?

I also find it impossible to hold the remote the way EA say is the correct way. For me the only possible way I can hold it is with the front of the remote being the front of the racket and the underside being the back of the racket. That is how we were taught to play Wii Sports and seems the most natural way to hold the remote for me. My holding the remote the wrong way could be my problem and peharps others in the UK also find it hard to adjust to this very un-natural way of holding the remote.

Tool.

Wii Sports will work the way you claim to hold it, but it works on gestures unlike WM+.... however you were not taught to hold it like that for the game, it also encouraged you to hold it in the same way as Ggrand Slam (it just happens to work ok anyway)

Presumably you watch tennis.... when the opponent is serving, the players generally hold the racquet vertical waiting to choose between back and forehand (some twiddle it round and round, but in a 1-2 seconds while the opponent throws the ball in the air they stop and hold it vertical again)
That is basically what you should be doing in GST.... and Wii Sports Tennis, the starting position for your shots should be you holding the Wii remote pointing toward the TV, with the face buttons pointing upwards, then you pull back left or right to set up a backhand/forehand.

I don't understand how you can find it impossible to hold it like that because it is exactly as it is designed to be held, your fingers underneath, with your thumb on top.

Anyhow... I bought Tiger Woods 10 today, it is pretty awesome, one thing though... the connector bit of Wii Motion + does seem quite loose. The metal bit that fits inside the Wii remote I mean. I suppose it could be intentional as the main body of WM+ is held on tighter by the locked clips, so the metal bit needs a bit of give so that it doesn't snap (whereas the nunchuck slots in and the important metal bit is also what holds it in place, which could be bent with a violent tug)
However I would like to know if you other peoples Wii Motion + is the same.

I do hold it with my fingers on the button ofcourse.  But how is it natural to swing using the thinest sides of the remote (the sides without buttons) as the front and back of the racket?  What is natural is for the side with the a button to be your forehand and the side with the b button to be your back hand.
