I have similar size hands to yours. 20 x 10.5. I fingertip a EGG OP1. That said, I also have a Pulsar X2 V2 and had no issues with it. I place my thumb under the forward, backward thumb buttons.
If you want your palm touching the mouse I would recommend the atk duckbill or as I was recommended today pulsar X2h and X2n. I have similar grip with a little more aggressive claw but I really like having a firm grip on my palm so I can micromanage with my fingers so I love me a good back hump.
With his hand size? I strenously disagree cause for him he would 100% require fingertipping due to the tiny size compared to the GPX and his grip style is basically textbook claw. Considering his hand size the XM2 would be better but it has much more curved sides which is very love it or hate it.
If the goal is to maintain rear palm contact he'd be better off with something like Pulsar's X2H/N series of mice in medium, or mini if he prefers a thinner shape.
I wouldn't waste your time on the x2 superstrike unless you like the potato shape. Its literally the superlight to a T with its new hits system thrown in and a front heavy off balance weight. As someone who personally owns one I dropped it and picked up the x2n even though its almost the same shape as the superstrike the hump position is in a much more suitable position for my preference plus the superstrike is 61 grams which i tend to prefer 40-50 grams and with the x2n hitting that 45 grams it was exactly what I needed. Keep in mind I too went down the mouse rabbit hole, getting the x2 superstrike, the teevolution terra pro, ninjusto ten air, viper v3 pro, deathadder v4 pro, wlhmouse x beast pro, incott g23 v2 to just name the ones I can come up with off of the top of my head.
