As a child I naturally held my torch in my fist with my thumb towards the front, and my hand low. In many "cop" TV shows I see people holding them the other way around, and with their hand high. I can see that rear clicky switches are designed to be held like that. Yet to me that grip tires my arm quicker, because I am holding the flashlight higher, and if the weather is misty I seem to get more reflected glare in my eyes (because the torch is nearer my head and more of the glare is reflected at 180 degrees). So, what's going on?
Are there other common ways to hold lights? Do the different grips have names, and what are their advantages?
Sorry if this is a FAQ - I did look but couldn't find a list.
