That barber expo in Chicago last year changed how I use thinning shears

Everyone at the booth was raving about these $200 shears but I watched a guy in the back demo using basic $40 ones with a different angle. He showed me how holding them at a 45 degree tilt gives way more control on thick hair. Has anyone else tried adjusting their grip instead of spending big on new tools?

Idk, is grip angle really that big of a game changer though?

Heard a barber say the same thing at a shop talk last month.
