lee trevino's grip

[EdZ]

The questions I have on 10-2-D are the following:

1. Does this grip type eliminate a TRUE flat wrist and rather call for its anatomical substitute?

2. Does this grip type preclude Horizontal Hinging?

3. Is this really an inferior grip type since the Flying Wedge Assemblies are not directly opposed to one another?

4. Does 10-2-D require a different type of release of the #2 Accumulator? And since the Wrist Cock is in the Plane of the Right Wrist Bend, is the degree of Bend in the Right Wrist flattened in conjuction with the Left Wrist Uncocking?

5. Does this grip type lend itself to Hitting or Swinging?

Those are the questions . . .

Thanks!

1) IMO - no, you can still maintain a 'flat' left wrist and in fact this makes things easier - you have 'locked' wedges

2) Yes - 'if' you have maintained that 'flat' left wrist, you are limited to angled hinge, however you can use it for cut shots if you are not true 'flat'

3) absolutely not inferior IMO - I think it can be quite superior in many cases. It is perhaps one of the best ways to get people to understand the feel of great clubHEAD control, and can make a zero shift procedure much simpler (clubSHAFT control). The issue is in clubFACE control, which IMO must be shifted to the base/palm of right hand when using this grip.

5) To the extent that the grip is most compatible with an angled hinge, it is a far better 'hitters' grip, however it can be quite useful for angled hinge swingers that focus on shoulder/pivot motion and play a fade.

I would recommend using an interlock if using 10-2-D.

I find it quite useful to start people off with 10-2-D, especially new players because the benefits of clubHEAD control can be an eye opening experience ("sizzle" is far simpler). It does take a solid pivot motion however and for those 'arms only' players it isn't likely to work beyond chips.
