[Paddlewise] Motion of control hand in feathering

After learning the conventional practice of keeping a constant grip on the
control hand and cocking it back to stroke on the opposite side, I noticed
that my natural response to controlling a feathered paddle was to rotate and
re-grip the paddle on both sides, so that neither hand has a fixed grip. Is
there any downside to this? Orienting the paddle doesn't seem to be a problem
with an oval shaft.
