If you find that a wider bridge, different hand positions, etc. don't work for you...a "Sarge Easter Grip" might be the way to go?

It worked for Robert Smith:

Pitching thumb towards palm. Breaking your wrist back instead of cupping. It feels usually like a weak position at first till you get use to it. It cut some revs at first until i got use to it.

permenant forward roll can be obtained by putting a little bit of forward pitch on the fingers
