That looks incredibly uncomfortable to do for extended periods.

Personally I just move my right thumb between the stick and the buttons, it's never been a problem, as games are designed with this in mind.

Honestly it never caused me pain or discomfort. As I said, I use a mix of "standard" grip and "claw" grip and i never had any problems. Making the switch between "claw" and "standard" is something extremely simple and natural (it's just a simple movement of your index finger that goes from L1 to D-pad), I play for hours without any kind of problem.

I couldn't do it; just tried it with my PS3 and Xbox 360 controllers and it got uncomfortable for me in under a minute.

Plus I can't think of a single game where I'd need to anyway.
