From Mr. Salo himself!!! So kind of him to respond to my e-mail.
"Bill - we use three basic paddle hand holds.
Knuckle paddle is held with a grip such that the fingers wrap over the front edge of the paddle with the knuckles on the front end of the paddle - this puts more focus on the elbow position and forearm
pac man paddle - holding the paddle on the back edge of the paddles such that the paddle is held extended beyond the fingers and the grip is tight (no straps used). Puts a little more emphasis on the front edge of the hand. The hands will cramp up with this position.
Regular paddle - as described.
