Is this normal?

Hey guys! How's it going?

Well something yesterday caught my attention after practising my The Weaker Side practice routine schedule.
So after practicing the book I tried to practise the moeller stroke very slowly like 70 bpm starting with a quarter-note per hand getting a good whipping motion and so I've noticed a straged thing that happened but came naturally. I noticed that when I was practicing the moeller at this slow tempo my grip was between by thumb and my middle-finger which is kind of strage beacause I grip the fingers with my my thumb and index not middle. But still it felt very confortable...

So is this normal? has it ever happen to you guys who normally grip the sticks with the thumb and index and notice that your gripping it with your middle finger?

Since this was a natural change, should I continue to grip it that way?

A lot of people say that it's better to do it that way. I started doing it when I noticed other people playing like that.

I used to hold the sticks between the pad of the thumb and the two middle fingers - until I saw to Jo Jo Mayer DVD. Now it's mostly in the fingertips (first knuckle crease) and sometimes a bit of the stick resting on the back of my hand under my wrist.
