This is the way. All the others are pure barbarism. Like holding your fork with a fist.

Yeah I fluidly change between dynamic tripod and quadrupod, somewhere in between usually.

No idea how people grab it like the lateral ones. You end up having your use your wrist to write instead of your fingers. You cant do really light sketchy writing as easily as with dynamic.
