The Eastern backhand grip removes the need to rotate your wrist to come perpendicular to the ball- it’s also a much more stable grip that prevents the racquet from rotating on off-center hits.

This method open the opportunity for both without changing your grip. Let me look up a past video of mine and share that with you too.
