Another tip came from Nilsen, in response to my remark about hitting the rail with the reel handle on large international reels while grinding with the rod on the rail:
"Flip the handle over, so the big end is down at the heel of your hand rather than up top by your thumb and forefinger. That effectively shortens the handle, and it won't hit so easily."
