There's a video of Bobby Koeffer on You Tube, playing with Cindy Cashdollar and another steel player who's name escapes me, but you can see Bobby's method of holding the bar, almost looks like the bar is between the thumb and a clenched fist.

if you could pick a mando like tut, you might be a likely candidate to
make a dobro work with a flatpick. i used to (try that is), and for the
same reason as tut, nobody to show me better at the time.
