I have felt that it is imperative to have a Golfing Machine background in order to truly understand the MORAD research....
In regards to the grip question ....A Pre-Turned grip of 45 degrees to the right is compatible with Angled Hinging....A Half roll.... so the Pre-Turned Grip is "Halfway" to eliminate some turn and roll during the backstroke, release, and follow-through intervals. It also is more compatible with a "Cut Shot" Procedure and the Paddlewheel Concept of Angled Hinging. If you look very closely ....very closely... the reason it looks so "STRONG" is because "Pre-Turned Grips" have a different degree of Bend by adjusting the Address Inclination of the Clubshaft!!!!
For Example, Mac's set-up is with a very sharp #3 Accumulator on the Hands Only Plane...Then shifts to Elbow and then Turned Shoulder during the backstroke and comes down in a wide variety of ways depending on the shot at hand!!!! This is his individual preference and has VERY VALID reasons for that Variation at Address.
However, if he were to swing more "cross-line" toward right field ...I believe he would adjust his "Machine" and raise the shaft up to a more orthodox looking address that most are trained to see and they would not have a problem with it. His approach has tremendous....Latitude in Instruction....
For Example ...If you have a pre-turned grip and you lower the Shaft which increases the "acuteness" of the #3 Accumulator...this lowering will increase the amount of address Bend in the Left Wrist ....Thus "affecting" the Plane of the Clubface(More Closed wichich is compatible for Angled Hinging)....Conversely by raising the shaft and decreasing the #3 Accumulator it will decrease the Address Bend of the Left Wrist . Try it for yourself !!!!
By the way as a reminder 7-2-#3
-The back of the Flat Left Wrist and the Lag Pressure Point (6-C-2-0) BOTH facing down the Angle of Approach(2-J-3) Otherwise, per 7-3, both must face down the right forearm Impact Fix Alignment....This means the hands are not facing each other down the Target Line, but looking down the angle of approach of the right forearm angle of approach at impact Fix....Look closely at Mr. O'Grady's Grip very, very close to what is described in 7-2 with the Left Hand perhaps pre-turned a little mote to accomodate for his preference toward Angled Hinging....
See Sam Snead's Grip Type....Then if you want it a little stronger yet....check out Lee"Buck" Trevino's. Then a little more...Paul Azinger!!!!
Many have wondered, why the MORAD Stuff is so HUSH-HUSH....
Try this ....If you you were testing and trying out something and you were thinking of publishing or inventing something for a business venture and you showed some friends some of your findings wouldn't you ask perhaps for some confidentiality...Especially if it were in a constant state of change or evolution....Sure you would want a little respect for your effort!!!
Just like Mr. Kelley's Beautiful work with the Yellow Book was in q constant state of evolution....Why do think there are Six edtions and perhaps the Seventh in the Future!!! Mr. O'Grady doesn't claim to have "INVENTED" anything....He has just classified ....and re-classified infromation and is constantly "testing" things out!
Will He ever publish?....My Guess ...Probably NO!!!...He writes beautifully...Not just about golf either....He's very creative and does believe it or not ....He has a great imagination and sense of humor!!!!
I have absolutely no reason to defend Mr. O'Grady, however, I greatly appreciate and respect his work to this day.
Just as I have the same "Respect" for Master Yoda and his great contributions and "Return" with this spectacular forum!!!!!
