Hi Resznotes
Firstly yes both myself and Dan do shift our grips slightly during open play.
Secondly you can be shifting too much and it can hinder your transition between shots. If this happens the change between shots is too big.
I would try to resist having a different grip for each shot. Such as the flick and the open up. The adaptations should come predominately from else where such as the body.
Lastly, having too closed a bat on a backhand open up is a common problem and it does make it hard to lift the ball over the net. So just be careful not to go too far with the grip change.
I hope that helps 👍
Tom
