It seems for me that korean pros (what i v seen on vods) are more often "fingertip" style.

Palm grip
almost B- but eventually C+ 3905 pts
Zerg, apm 180
btw I dont think the diff kind of grips do much difference in starcraft or any other game, if ur good at a game ur good however u hold ur mouse.
Terran in particular is a notoriously strong race for a no brain skillhand bot style.

combination between claw and fingertip
C+ 5100

I cant imagine using the palm of my hand to move the mouse around... I really have to have my little finger and ring finger on the right side of the mouse to push it left and thumb on the left side to push it right or it seems so inaccurate.
also; fingertip seems way easier for clicking at 300apm for muta micro than palm grip

You don't need to move your arm except a little if you move up or down or switch to claw grip.

If you suffer from pain I guess you have carpel tunnel or something.

Of course I do.

I've been at 200 apm since jan03 ...... even with a few breaks that is seven years of crafting .. I changed my grip from a palm grip for accuracy and less pain a long time ago.

I get the impression palm is only good when you have the sensitivity set to fps style slowness and you just need a better grip of the mouse so you can move it faster to that "one direction" (boom headshot)
I just cant imagine palm being good at very small motions in quick succession .
