Yep. With the club in position, the grip should go in at the base of your trigger finger (Pressure Point #3) and exit out the palm fissure at the top. This will put you on plane with your forearm.

Gripping the club in the right hand fingers will put you out of alignment, which certainly can be adjusted for, but why intentionally set up so an adjustment has to be made in the swing.

Also gripping through the palm fissure will help prevent cocking of the right wrist. The right wrist should only bend and never cock. Cocking the right wrist is a swell way for a Hitter to bend the Plane or skew the Hinge. FWIW, conversely, the left wrist may cock, but never ever bend.

Check out Yoda's avatar for a perfect form of the Flying Wedges. Then check out a down-the-line video of Yoda or Luke. You will see at Setup how the Shaft relates to the Plane and the forearm.
