As a result, every shot would result in muzzle flip no matter how much of a death grip I had. Even with grip tape, the friction eventually rubs the texture off or moved the tape all over the frame.
The left grip seems to be more efficient for guns with smoother frames as it allows you to cover more of the grip. But that’s to be determined next time.
(Ironically, the photo is presented as “before and after” learning “proper gripping technique”)

My daily driver is an advanced piece of Czechnology from the distant future that flows from my hands like liquid metal so I can't relate to anything happening here. Seriously, though, where else would you put your support hand, that "hand on bottom of magazine" thing they used to do in the 90s where you can't do the weaver stance properly?
What is even happening in that right picture? Looks like the shooter is going to have a hard time with repeating that grip and get bad slide bite. The one on the left doesn't look right, either. What is going on here?
Is it a new tacticool oakley guy fad? They were all doing center axis re-lock for a year after the first John Wick movie came out. I've never seen either of these. My shooting hand thumb is along the grip, my supporting hand thumb is pressing my shooting hand thumb to stabilize it's grip on the gun.
So, you are never going to defeat recoil.
The objective is for the gun to lift off the target, strip off a new round from the magazine, chamber, and have the gun return back to zero.
I don't believe the left pictured grip is correct. Frankly the right pictured one is a little weird too because the thumb is bent.
I've had more success, comfort, consistency with my right thumb lifted up and away fromthe frame and off my support hand, otherwise i think i push down on my support hand helping to cause it to slip. i hook my support index finger over my firing hand's middle finger. i try to do most of my gripping and aiming with my support hand, the firing hands only job is to move the trigger without upsetting anything else. at least that's what i try to do following ben stoeger's instruction. he's got videos of his classes on his youtube.
for pistols with big thumb safeties like some 1911s and CZs, i'll rest the firing hand thumb on that, but i think doing too much with either thumb upsets a consistent clean trigger pull and repeatable up and down muzzle flip.
everyone's got different hands and different guns, it's good to try different things out and see what works for you
