hands on gutter in backstroke start?

I see some age groupers getting real good results grabbing the gutter and placing feet a bit lower. They come right out and get clean entries just like the bar grabbers. Is this just a developmental thing, or can Masters benefit? I think the added buoyancy by staying low in the water at the start creates a stronger pushoff and slingshot?

    Start hands on the gutter, or in the wall when there are electronic pads. And do not bend my arms, on the 50m meters back 32seconds; it works for me. To perform a hand block start in order to get a good entry demands a power I do not have and hate to practice . This way I do not splash and keep strength do a almost 12m underwater efficient dolphin kick ….
