Matter of personal preference... you can reach a bit farther around the throttle to begin with so you wind up in a comfortable spot, or do as described above.
Either way, you're not gripping in one spot at all times.

If you just can't get the hang of it and feel like throwing money at the bike instead of working on skill, then you can get a quick-turn throttle (zero to wide-open in about a quarter of a turn).
