For me, placing my left thumb truly on the aft side of the shaft (directly behind the shaft), even though it may give me maximum support, also gives me nasty blisters and even a light bruse on the left side of my left thumb. Hence I currently place it in between the true aft and the centerline.

Question.. Wouldn't the blisters and brusing be an indication that something else may be out or alignment or being applied incorrectly when you place your thunb in that position?

I am not advocating you do it different, I asking more to understand how it works per-se.

When you look at a golfers golf glove and discover they have wear spots in unusual places, does this give cause to wonder why they are getting them there and could that be an indication of something out of whack or opposing that leads to an abnormal condition? Kind of like if you look at a golfer clubface and see it worn on the upper toe, this indicates something is not as it should be.
