Flat Left Wrist?

[Yoda]

The 10-2-B Grip may not be as weak as you think.

Great post, Tong. It took me several years in TGM -- and many weak, 'dying quail' Golf Shots -- to grasp this truth.

Here's one more way to get the idea across. With your Left Hand, pick up a bottle of water, take a sip and then lower it in front of you until your left forearm is parallel to the ground. Take a look at your Left Wrist: It is Vertical. Grip a Golf Club the same way, and you're in business.

Listen up, Michael. This is the straight skinny!

Okay I've read all of the threads and now I'm very confused! ShouldI endeavor to use a 10-2-B? Why were you hitting "dying quail " shots? Becasue of 10-2-B?

Sorry but I'm not yet up to speed in deciphering all of the jargon yet.

One thing I really think I suffer from and would like to minimize is throwaway. Can the 10-2-D grip make throwaway more likely to occur?

Bottom line:

Go to Impact Fix (7-8 and 8-2) and take a Strong Single Action Grip (10-2-B).

As time goes by, you can skip Fix.

Why would anyone skip FIX??? Mr Kelly emphasized its importance.

I think Tong was saying this after establishment of a proper grip.

But....
Through experience, Impact Fix can be established before a round for each club. It is not part of every pre-shot rountine during a round but can be if you like. I would never tell anyone NOT to do it. Experience with my clubs (driver/5i/wedge) and the ball position alerts my hands to 'Fix.'

I do go into Impact Fix with a tough shot or crummy lie before me.

hmmm.. maybe I do it all the time then. LOL
