Though famous Halo professionals such as David Walsh pioneered "the claw," a way of holding a controller so the player has constant access to more actions, the best advice for gripping your controller is to aim for comfort. Like tennis, which features various successful grips, no method exists in gaming which is strictly superior to another. Some pros found bonuses to using "the claw," but it was not necessary for victory on the Pro Circuit. Further, the differences between the Xbox and the Xbox 360 controllers minimize the differences between traditional grips and alternatives. Your hands are your tickets to success, so keeping them comfortable and relaxed is of the utmost importance. Some players will advocate specific grips, but those grips are rarely the only way to go. Make sure you hold your weapon comfortably.
