With 10-2-D the turned left wrist mean that wrist cock is on plane without a swivel first, so uncocking the left wrist will throw not only the cubhead, but also the clubface at the ball. But with a strong single action grip and standard wrist action, one swivels then cocks, so the clubface turns away from the ball. In that case the uncocking of the left wrist only throws the clubhead at the ball - the clubface still has to roll into the ball - attempting to throw the clubface at the ball from this position (as well as the clubhead) results in a breakdown of the left wrist.

Basically with 10-2-D you can use a sort of hammering (uncocking) motion of the left wrist to hammer the clubhead and face into the ball because the clubface is perpendicular to the plane of the left wrist cock.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Chris! Very good analysis! Sounded pretty "expert" to me. That is kind of the same thing I was thinking. Since the Left Hand is TURNED there is no need for Start Up Swivel in Swinging as you point out.

To me it would also stand to reason that any Release Swivel coulc be disasterous guaranteeing that the Clubface hit the OUTSIDE quadrant of the ball. FORE LEFT!!!!!

As far as the HAMMERING motion, with the "preferred" 10-2-B grip, the HAMMERING is a VERTICAL hammer. But with 10-2-D would the HAMMERING be a bit more "side armed" or "angled"? During Impact and Separation the Left Hand would still be TURNED and not ROLLED to maintained the prescribed PADDLEWHEEL motion?

Sorry I'm such an anal wart on this.
