The way compound bows have developed is that they have gone very low grip but have also gone a lot slimmer to minimise the contact.
As long as your hand is relaxed when you stuff it in the grip, it will naturally sit where the grip is dictating it sits. Also with a relaxed low grip and making sure you're pushing forward through the wrist, the bow will travel in a straight line to the target.
Call it heeling but I'd rather do that and drill the 10 than go back to the old compounds and the massive grips.
Remember, the grip is just a pivot point and your bow hand is only there to stop the bow flying back into your face!!!
