Shakehand Grip

   In a recent post about the 
shake hand grip and
author wrote “the backhand-oriented grip is the one that the edge of the
blade leans more to the index finger while the forehand-oriented grip is
 the
one that the edge of the blade leans more to the thumb.”

When I work with a robot I find myself 
switching my grip back
and forth on the fly between those two positions.  In play I believe I 
favor
the backhand grip and don’t switch.  My question, do advanced
players switch on the fly or do they stick with one grip?  
I realize that one’s grip is a personal 
thing, but
does there seem to be a preference of one over the other.  How about a
neutral grip, in between the two extremes?

Thanks

	I believe I tend to favour a more fh grip during a match until I conciously adjust it back... ie if it gets too fh oriented and affects play.
