Slight variations in the form from various organisations.  I learned this form in Wing Tsun.

Wing Tsun form


Good stuff.

I thing a horizontal palm position with spread fingers would be better for an eye strike.

Your opinion?

I practice on a small hanging sandbag.

The critics will say this is ineffective for self-defense but it is not meant for use in a sport fight.

As you know, Wing Tsun is designed to strike vital targets like eyes, throat, etc.

Again there is a difference between sport fighting (bjj for example) and self-defense.

Yes i agree but as i wrote before even one finger can cause a serious problem for someone in the lower throat just above the collar bone.
nothing is carved in stone, the body has many weak points.
People even bite when fighting like a Baboon

Yes, the vertical position is ideal for striking the throat.

A good way to practice it would be while carrying a small fridge.

I think, wthout sounding corny here... Bruce Lee was the man.
Take what is useful & discard what is useless.  Something like that.
