Any knuckle draggers here?

I have been trying to clean up my style.  I find I do not have good brush control (e.g. want play with no brush at all) I can do it if I play softly enough but the harder I hit the strings the more it seems to cause me to make inadvertent brush strokes.  Doing it in slow motion I notice I am hitting extra strings with middle and right knuckles (at the last joint), so much so that I've developed some pads there.  I don't have a problem with relearning some right hand to make the necessary adjustments but for the life of me, I cannot seem to get my hand curled in a position that allows only my index fingernail to touch the strings consistently.  Or at least do in a right hand relaxed position.  Anyone else have this problem and overcame it?
