10-2-D Swinging pattern
I'm curious if anyone has the 3rd edition, of what the patterns using 10-2-D are?

I've had a bit of a layoff from range time and have been experimenting indoors on different pattern options. Mainly, this stems from my grip choice, which despite a lot of experimentation on other patterns, most naturally falls to a 10-2-D, interlocking grip. This due to how my left hand naturally hangs at my side - a 'strong' position in my case.

Similar to what Doyle's grip appears to be.

From that grip, I've worked mainly on a swinging pattern, which also tends to fit my natural motion.

Given the requirements of a horizontal hinge, this leads to a 'cupped' left wrist at the top/end, from which I can release fully, for a draw, or basically 'feel' an angled hinge - but have a horizontal hinge of the clubface - for a straight shot.

I can really feel that the pivot, and its throw out action, is all that is needed to square up, and can put as much or as little force as I want into the shot with predictable accuracy.

I got back out and hit some shots today with this pattern and found it quite easy to repeat, and very accurate.

All of this is to say, that for those that have been trying to conform to the standard 10-2-B "back of the left hand faces the target" and still struggle with an open face at impact - check how your left hand hangs down at your side - and give 10-2-D a try.
