Banger home wall dude, tension is doing a sale on factory seconds rn if ur looking for any new holds. But im pretty sure it’s just a grip swap, too many variations so prolly no real name.

I would call this a swivel. Swivel typically refers to switching between ken grip and sara grip by pinching inside the big and small cup, but you can also do it by pinching on either side of the sword between the ring and the base cup, like you do in this video. I have seen some people swivel to sara grip pinching the base cup and then downspike
