So, the thumb appears to be on the right side of the grip (as opposed to aft side) at adjusted address because the left hand is NOT facing the angle of approach?
That is correct. This whole idea as to what constitutes the 'back of the shaft' changes as the Shaft rotates On Plane. That is why, in 1-L #11, Homer Kelley added the boldened words below to the 7th edition:
"Clubhead Force and Motion is On Plane at right angles to the Longitudinal Center of Gravity (the direction of the motion) and varies with the Speed, Mass and Swing Radius."
I got into it with a club pro about whether or not an arched/bent left wrist opens/closes, the face of the club. I was unconvincing! I remembered this thread and vjapron's contention that at the top of the swing an arched wrist is in fact causing a shut face etc. Does anyone know for sure? I tend towards an arched lag-insured left wrist at the top I can also clear the left side of the course with the best of them! This would be good to know. Okie out.

Do this experiement:
Hold the club in the left hand only and extend your arm (with the clubshaft in-line) directly in front of you (and opposite the left shoulder) until the shaft is parallel to the ground. Now, BEND you left wrist (so that the shaft moves horizontally to your left and out-of-line with the left arm). Maintaining this alignment, put the club down on the ground, and take a look at the clubface: It's CLOSED, right? That is, it looks left of the target line.
Now, again assuming the starting position as described above, ARCH your left wrist (so that the shaft moves horizontally to your right), then set the club down. The clubface is now OPEN, right? That is, it looks right of the target line.
So, until they make Inclined Planes different from Horizontal Planes, it's . . .
Thank you, Yoda. That is what I conveyed to the doubting master professional. I recieved a visceral reaction from the aforementioned authority, although the witnesses were given pause for thought. I needed the safety net of a superior intellect...Bucket does not take my calls anymore!
