    Over under grip?

    Question: Do you guys always over under with the same hands. For me its always left as under right as over. Should I be changing it up sometimes, feels weird doing it the other way. Just curious, never thought about it before till I tried to do it the opposite to normal and it sucked.

Would it be better to use a double overhand grip and...
