Hybrid grip. It isn't claw in the sense of applying pressure to my wrist, but I still curl my fingers. Not in the same way as a full-on claw grip, which is why it's a hybrid. The G9x calls for a different type of grip to other mice, which is probably why I like it so much.

Palm grip, cause my mouse is big.

I keep my index and middle finger curled as if I'm playing piano. I find this posture easier on my finger and gives less strain while playing more intense songs.

Claw grip, because clicking with your fingers flat feels so unwieldy. I don't understand how people do it.

Full palm grip.

I didn't know that's typical, but well, same here.

Palm because mouse is too big

Palm...

Clawing seems like it would be awkward.

Claw grip with 1600 DPI mouse...LoL

Fingertip grip

tablet grip

Palm, but sometimes finger-tip but only with keyboard. With palm I can mouse only

Palm, 3500 DPI DeathAdder here.

Claw, cause i'm used to it, and it's more comfortable for spinning.

Claw, mouse is small and I just like it better I guess.
AWESOME-SAMA
Didn't really pay attention to it before, but I claw mine.

A sort-of hybrid between palm and claw because my fingers are pretty damn long. I tend to claw for sequential jumps, though.

Palm. My mouse is quite huge though.

Claw (on a deathadder if you're wondering the mouse).
Phantasyy
Use claw grip with an mx518 as I just feel more accurate and comfortable
djjsixpack
Half claw/palm grip on a deathadder. Used to be full claw but my mouse is huge compared to my old one so I adapted that way more or less. When I play mouse only I cannot do well unless I go palm grip though.

Used to clawgrip but turned to fingertip grip over time.

Hybrid palm/claw
There is no Hybird in Terms of Mouse Playstyle.
You can only Move your Mouse with your Fingers/Wrist [Claw / Fingertip Grip]
OR
You can move your Mouse with your Shoulder/Arm [Palm Grip]

What u mean is the Fingertip Grip, its just Describes the Contact Points with you Mouse not your Mouse Movement Style.

BTW I am also using the Fingertip Grip^^

I claw grip, but palm grip on spinners.

I use palm grip but I use my wrist and fingers to move the mouse. Feels natural.

If that's the case, I'm actually a hybrid then, because I vibrate my arm to do spinners. ._.

I still hold my mouse with fingertips though.

In that case youre absolutely Right, u change your Playstile for Spinning.

But what I want the people to understand is that u can only have one Playstile at the same time!
Unfortinuetly the words [Claw/Palm/Finger Grip] lets people tend to think, the way your fingers contact with your mouse, determine your Playstyle.
Hope I could make things clearer^^

When people said hybrid, I believe they mean that they have been using both type of grip during whole gameplay or under different occasions. I don't think they're gonna use both grip styles at the same time, right? :P

My mouse is Logitech MX518, I cover my entire palm onto the mouse, but only use my fingertips to click the buttons instead of using my whole finger. I also move the mouse with my wrist instead of using my shoulder. So... is this considered a hybrid style?

claw cuz palm makes some of my fingers touch the mousepad and that annoys me too much that i cant focus D:
