So what do you all do in this case. Keep the mask in left hand and just hold mask straight out? Or do you move it and hold the fist out there? Just wondering what the actual proper mechanic is for this.
Thanks

If you can move the mask to the right hand, which you have apparently mastered, that is fine.
