I think I often have an impact position similar to the picture on the right side.

Quote from the author (TGM-educated)
"An antiroll wrist position at impact (where the lead wrist is flat but rolled to the right for a right-handed player) will counterbalance a closed face. One can play using this variation, but like the "rolled" position of a weak grip, requires perfect timing and is consequently subject to under or over correction on the downswing."

What do you think of the last sentence (in bold)? I tend to have a closed clubface (at the top of the backswing) and the impact position seen in the picture on the right. Do you think it's a bad impact position for the wrists?

Thanks

All that being said . . . There are some particularly those on the Darkside that actually recommend a Turned Left Hand BECAUSE it eliminates the need for any Swiveling PRIOR TO the Imapct Interval. Thus ELIMINATING what could be percieved as an "unnecessary variable." So you just have the Left Hand Turned to the Plane and it just rides the Plane Uncocks ONLY, which is "throwing the Clubface at the ball."

So an strong arguement could be made to support the bold statement. [Emphasis added.]

Examples would be Lee Buck, Zinger and Morgan Pressel.

Did you mean to say that a strong argument could be made against the bold statement?

It will be interesting to see if Pressel stays with the grip she has now, or if playing with longer drivers will push her to try to gain distance.

A vast majority of higher handicapers would do better with 10-2-D (and the fade it basically requires) because of the significant advantage in ease of compression as well as the lesser requirement of Rhythm. The problem arises when 10-2-D players try to play a draw ;)

I'm a little confused. Your first post said:



I read this to mean that a 10-2-D grip with its attendant lack of roll can be argued to be the preferred variation. However, the bold portion of the original post indicated that the "anti-roll" grip requires better timing than (I presume) Standard Wrist Action and therefore would not be preferred. I have reproduced the bold portion of the original post below.




Am I missing something?
