Hi Brandon. It depends on what type of bowler you are, but you need to grip the ball firmly in the way you want to bowl the delivery, but as a fast bowler you can change your grip if you want to bowl a veriation for example. But in essence grip your ball tightly.

Hey Brandon,
I don't think it matters much if you shift around your grip while running up to bowl as long as:
It doesn't distract you
It doesn't break your rhythm.

If you find yourself doing the exact same thing every time then it's just part of your bowling rhythm. If you change how your gripping the ball in different ways constantly and this is leading to inconsistency then it is an issue that needs to be addressed. Let me know if you want any advice. I'm not a coach just an amateur who's a bit obsessive about practicing.
