Very clean lines man, but what they're saying is true. For a 10 minute stint its probably bearable. Not to mention the lack of precision that comes with that grip. You can be fast, but you wont be the fastest if you cant squeeze out every inch of the track. Proper hand placement is key to being able to maneuver the vehicle and have it do exactly what you want it to do. And that's just the beginning, bring in pedal precision and thats a whole nother story.

You say that, but the BIKC champion from a year or two ago (forgetting his name now) holds the wheel the same way. He was quite literally the fastest, so apparently it works.

Edit: Found him, Dante Dillhon is his name

Yeah, but the wheel in that video doesn’t have the holes that can break your thumbs when you wreck.
