The left wristcock motion is a perpendicular motion from the impact alignments (flying wedges)- up and down. Therefore the more turned that the grip becomes - the more that the wristcock motion turns into a wristbend but its still geometrically flat to the plane of the left wrist motion (left flying wedge). It is perhaps most preferable to have the grip set as such that the wristcock is truely flat so that it can be monitored easier.
Nicely put. Is the left wrist bend (visual bend) at the top or end then comparatively the same as it appears if you cocked the left wrist in the impact fix location (or when the left arm-club flying wedge is intact)?
With golfers of a 10 handicap and higher (more or less), I have had very little success with anything but visually flat. Even with strong-ish grips.

The flying wedges maintain the correct impact alignments during the stroke. If you teach someone to change these alignments during the stroke it isn't 'doing it right' by Brian Manzella, its 'doing it wrong' by Brian Manzella. I don't care if its a 10 handicapper or a golfer who's average drive goes 30 yards - The only shortcuts are more and more know how. The flying wedges is a piece of that know how.

Yes, I understand. I use both Horizontal and angled Hinging effectively. I swing. My confusion may exist in the definitions of weak and strong. I agree with strong having the pressure points on the aft side of the shaft and pressure toward the angle of approach. Anything left of that is weak. But let me ask you this: In a strong single action grip, can there be a space between the left thumb and left forefinger? Your answer may solve all my questions. Traditional (less knowledgable) Teaching says yes, but maybe TGM says not necessary but I don't know. Can you answer this?
Also it says somewhere that the #2 pressure point replaces the #3 pressure point in a weak single action grip. Did I say that right. When I get home tonight I'll find the reference.

Yes, there must be a space since the right thumb should be on the aft side of the shaft (when Grip is taken at Impact Fix) to give maximum support during Impact.

In the photos of 10-2-B you can see quite clearly a gap between the thumb and 1st finger. This is how you can have the left thumb aft and the wrist truely flat against the vertical plane your hinge action requires.... or at least closer to it....
I'll have a look at the book at the weak single action grip later on to answer as im not so familiar with the specific variation... how I wish I had Yoda's capacity for remembering everything...
