I keep choking good plays because of this,
when I grip my stylus, my middle finger is usually on top with my index finger, but my middle finger slowly starts to slide under the pen down to the ring and pinky side of the pen, this happens when I'm flicking really fast, I can't do anything if I can't fix this, this is not due to the sweat.

I cannot take a picture of my grip style right now.

4:13PM Edit: My grip is also sliding down to the narrow part of the stylus. This is a major problem. I can't finish any play without choking by dropping my pen.

Let me describe my grip style, I am holding the top of the bottom quarter of the stylus, G430 passive, my index and middle fingers are on the side that faces towards my display, the middle of the pen rests comfortably in my webbing. My middle and index are bent in the middle joints very sharply, the fingertips pressing hard against the pen. My ring and pinky finger rest on the side of the pen that is facing away from the display, I am right handed. My ring finger's flat side is resting on my last joint of my pinky, these two fingers rest right above where the pen is about to start curving into a tip.

The issue about grips is that you must adjust to what you have, or adapt to a new one.

Read this forum, it kinda explains the same issue:
