I'll bet LoboHunter is just sitting back and laughing at all of us ... he started this big discussion and has not been back here at all, as far as I know.
I believe LoboHunter was asking about how we hold our sling hands, when doing the figure-8 (which he calls "overhand").
Lobo: if any of the above is wrong, get in here and tell us what you meant!
I noted earlier that I hold my hand various ways, depending on the style. For the figure-8, I have always had my palm toward my belly. I have gone back and looked at various videos: Nwmanitou holds his sling palm-to-belly with a narrow grip (and he is who I copied), Weaver holds his sling palm-up with a wide grip, and Ballard seems to hold his sling palm-down with a narrow grip.
So this morning I tried holding my hand palm-up, narrow grip, and it did change how I slung. It did not affect my accuracy as far as I could see, but it did feel different. I'll have to work with it a few more days to see if it makes any real difference.
