That SW is fine
You may have found different ways of doing "9"
as there are different signs for 9 depending on the area..
Older people with artritus prefer to tuck the Thumb in
and have the 4 Fingers straight..
We had a member who didnt have a thumb so this was their way for 9.
The easiest (9) for children is Just holding up their hands and leaving the Right Thumb tucked in..
Hope this helps..

Hi Valerie, Adam, Maureen and friends,
for some hours I am busy to look at BSL signs...
There are various online-video – tutorials that show a variety of how to sign the numbers ...;-))
Just a question ... do we have in the actual symbol set the hand shape some of the signers prefer for signing “nine”
Flat-hand ... or five-hand but pinkey bent toward palm ( personally I have problems to perform this hand shape without to much effort)

What do you think about my attempt to construct this hand shape?

All best
