Not sure if it matters, but my hands are larger than most, and I haven't notice hand size brought up when reading about the variations in grips.
Because of having larger hands, I can actually fit quite a bit of disc in my hand when FH grip and "wedging" (see frontwedge.jpg) the disc between my thumb and pointer finger, all the way to the back of the crease. It seems like I have OAT when I use this grip, especially with mids.
The nowedge.jpg shows how I would typically hold the disc - it lies just in front of my first knuckle, not wedged back in the crease between thumb and pointer finger.
I ask which is correct because if I'm doing it wrong (having the disc sit just in front of my knuckle and not wedged in) then obviously I'd like to start doing it correctly, and if having the disc rest that far back in your hand is correct, how to get rid of the OAT? The disc just doesn't feel like it releases clean. Is it because of having large hands with more meat getting in the way?
