Another thing that influences your blip ability in relation to your hand placement and grip is the angle that the lever ergo is set. When setting ergos, many riders hop on their bike, get in a tuck position and start adjusting. Cool! But would it better to adjust your ergos to the tasks they perform and conformed to the rider?

Adjust your throttle roll rate (cable cams) to mid corner/exit roll on preferences
Adjust your brake lever angle to corner entry bp (setting the angle to low can hurt your ability to blip smoothly and consistently)
Adjust your clutch lever to a good tuck bp (unless you use modulate it during downshifting, then use your corner entry bp)
Adjust your shift lever to a happy balance of corner entry bp and tuck bp
Adjust your clip on angle to mid corner bp, but be mindful of the angles of your wrists
ect... ect... ect...
