Paul Gordon's Chapter on the Overhand Shuffle card controls (in Professional Card Miracles ?) explains and shows that most of what you read is completely wrong.
He demos how to do it as a real shuffle, then as a control, properly and convincingly.

Thanks for the advice guys. I do most things in 'normal' hands lol.

As in when it's explained to hold a break, thumb fan, DL etc.

However, the overhand shuffle I do is opposite as well as spreading the cards- as in most people hold deck in left and spread out to the right. But I do that opposite too!

I will certainly use whatever hand is most comfortable. :)

Thanks again.
