You can hold as you would a plectrum.. thumb-first finger.
You can also move quickly between alt picking , hybrid picking , banjo rolls etc

The thumbpick has its place, but if you want to really pick fast...
Try Thimble Pick Speed-picking (none of that thumb-first finger stuff)
Just super fast alternating one finger with a single plastic "thimble pick" on either your index finger or middle finger... your choice!
