Component #2 -- Grip Type -- principally differentiates (1) the relationship of each Hand to the Inclined Plane; (2) the location of the #3 Pressure Point (first joint of the RH index finger); and (3) the number of Wrist Actions (Perpendicular or Horizontal or both) induced during the Stroke in either or both Hands.
The Strong Double Action Grip (10-2-D) mandates a Turned Left Hand and a Vertical Right Hand; a Pressure Point that is directly 'aft' (or 'behind') the Shaft, i.e., neither 'on top' or 'under' it; and a Double Action, i.e., Cocking the Turned Left Wrist (a Perpendicular Motion) causes the Vertical Right Wrist to Bend (a Horizontal Motion). In TGM shorthand, this is a T/V/A grip (Left Hand Turned / Right Hand Vertical / Pressure Point Aft).
In contrast, Grantc79's Grip features a Left Hand that is Turned; a Right Hand that also is Turned (not Vertical); and a #3 Pressure Point that is under the Shaft (not aft). In this configuration, his Turned Left Wrist Cock also Cocks (but does not Bend) his Turned Right Wrist (Perpendicular Motion only and therefore a Single Action). This Grip is labeled Strong Single Action Underhand (10-2-F) and is described in TGM shorthand as T/T/U (Turned Left Hand / Turned Right Hand / Pressure Point Under).
As an aside, when I do employ the 10-2-D Variation, it is almost always in conformance with the Two Accumulator Pivot Stroke Pattern (12-2) of the Third Edition. [Note: Any active Right Shoulder participation makes this a Three Accumulator Pattern.] My intention with this Pattern is to reinforce the Feel of "unrelenting Thrust during Release and Impact" (Active Right Arm Participation) and with a "right palm driven squarely at the Ball (Angled Hinge Action) -- no separate Rolling action".
Yoda your information is highly technical and i don't quite get all of it yet but I am constantly digging into the yellow book now adays and trying to learn it
Moving the shaft from the palm to the pad really helped and now I feel like I can get that grip a lot more comfortable.
As an aside Yoda when you are going to teach GSEB 1 and 2 near Rob so I can come get certified?

Yoda: Are you using the above grip 10-2-D when you are out driving Ted on the "Hitters Row" video? What is the key to avoiding hooking the shot with the strong left hand grip?

The answer is in yoda's post. "right palm driven squarely at the Ball (Angled Hinge Action) -- no separate Rolling action".
Looks to me like your are using TTU grip in these pics. 10-2-F
As for my thoughts on grip size it is pretty much an individual preference, so dependant on what grip you choose to implement you could easily change your grips round that choice. You can even wrap them with tennis grips if you so wish though im sure there are stipulations on the "how" of doing that, for alignment purposes etc...
Loving the golf hand though!!! The sign of someone that plays golf a lot the dead white left hand look
The answer is in yoda's post. "right palm driven squarely at the Ball (Angled Hinge Action) -- no separate Rolling action".
You can use that grip with a horizontal hinge of the clubface. As long as the left arm flying wedge stays intact - verticle to the ground - while the right palm is driven in a paddle wheel fashion.
Remember that if the #3 accumulator is zeroed out, all hinge actions take on angled hinge rhythm. Having the left hand more turned, how it hangs naturally at your side, but still 'flat' at impact, tends to reduce the #3 accumulator.
