I guess just that I wouldn't usually use an "awkward" grip for too long unless there was a specific purpose. As I mentioned, sometimes that purpose is a different sound, but that's not usually something I'll need for a whole song or during most passages. For those short situations I sometimes find that pushing my first finger further forward allows for some control and a more "solid" note on say a cymbal, but once that part is over, I'll move back to the most efficient grip I normally gravitate towards; typically closer to the butt end.
When you say "slipping" you mean you are sort of constantly choking up on the stick as you play?
