An additional grip change is considered an “additional or intermediate hand support” and will be deducted 0.1.
Examples include:
– Zou Li Min or Adler 1/1 turn to mixed grip followed by an immediate grip change to undergrip will be deducted 0.1
– Endo, Kip or Backuprise with overgrip followed by two consecutive grip changes to undergrip will be deducted 0.1 for the 2nd grip change
Elements in mixed grip (Giant Forward, Endo, Backuprise, Kip etc.) followed by one grip change to undergrip will not receive a deduction.
Note that WAG are rarely, perhaps never, deducted for similar unnecessary grip changes.

There have always been discussion surrounding what is meant by “slightly”. …
If the feet are more than 10cm apart there will be a 0.1 or 0.3 deduction taken, even if the heels are brought together after the initial landing. (Article 9.4)
