But if it works for you, it works for you.
If you have big enough hands (which he seems to), your thumbs will still extend past the top of the slide even if you keep them pretty far forward. But it's actually one of the reasons why I don't think everyone should necessarily be encouraged to use high grips (even though that's the trend nowadays).
