What grip would this be?

Not sure whether I should go with something like the "big eagle claw" or something like the collapsed Korean grip with my new bow's grip, which is a bit like a Turkish bow's, but possibly of more constant width.
Thank you

Hmm.
Would Adam Swoboda's book be a good reference on grips?

In the video, the grip on the bow looks to me like the "grip of the number 30" described in "Arab Archery."
Yes Adam Swobodas book has 10 pages on the gripping of the bow, and I like the book, so it would be a good reference, within other good references, like Arab Archery by Faris and Potter-Elmer, Saracen Archery by Latham and Paterson and the "Kitab an-Nussab" translated by Mr Öztopcu.
Hope this helps :)

Yes, thank you
From what I've read of the #30, I guess Murat's grip also looks like it? The one in the video appears to have very little khatra, though.

You are very welcome.
Hmm, I think there are differences between #30 and Murats grasp on this picture.
#30 is to me forming a "v-notch" for the arrow to rest, with your indexfinger and thumb. In detail:
The littlefinger is curled arround the bows grip.
The ringfinger is curled arround the grip, too, and rests on the little finger.
The middlefinger is curled arround the grip, too and rests on the ringfinger.
The indexfinger rests partly on the middlefinger, and the
thumb rests on the tip of the indexfinger.
Murats grip on the picture looks to me more like a #99 with "a datepit distance" between thumb and middlefinger, as described in persian manuscripts translated by Mr. Moshtagh-Khorasani.
The big difference is: His arrow rests between the links of his thumb, while his hand is overall somewhat oblique.
