Hello,
I believe any grip can be powerful, depending on how you use it. Look at great players like Zivkovic, Moersch or Zeltsman, for instance, who don't actually use burton grip and all have powerful projection. I use the so-called stevens grip for (marimba and) multi-percussion (like Psappha, by Xenakis) and you can make a huge sound with it. There are advantages and disadvantages in all grips I think, as everyone has different hands, fingers (liver, lungs....) - I also think that more important are issues regarding how you use the different grips and these principles are pretty much universal (mallet independence, effective interval change, etc). All these principles should have you perform MARIMBA SPIRITUAL (or any other work) powerfully, with the sound, dinamic range, timbre, colour (etc, etc, etc) and music making you ultimately disire. Good luck!
Greetings for you all,
