Wrist action grip choices
I would like to know the advantages/disadvantages of wrist action choices.

I normally use a 10-2-B wrist action grip - Strong single action. As a swinger I therefore have to pronate my left forearm during the takeaway swivel action, and then supinate during the release swivel action.

It would seem that the need would be less with a 10-2-D - Strong Double action grip, where the left wrist cock is in the plane of the right wrist bend. Is that true? Do you use this grip and find it advantageous? What are the disadvantages of this grip choice?

Does anyone think that another grip choice is better? Why?

Jeff.

You don't have to do all that swiveling with 10-2-B . . . Nicklaus didn't . . . PLUS a lot of it has to do with how you have the club set on the ground at hopefully fix when you put your hand on it . . . if you have the shaft leaning way forward with a 3 iron when you put your grip on it . . . . I don't care if you are 10-2-ABCDEGFHIJKLMNOP Grip . . . you ain't gonna hit the ball in the air. And if you don't get shaft leaning as much as you programed in . . . the face is going to pull the ball left.

Jeff,
A little more information and thoughts and a fewer questions - please. Specific questions are OK when you really have a significant dilemma but when it's a great smorgasboard splattered across the scenery just to see if you learn something new- well you'll drive people away. Just a thought for you to consider- maybe bad or good advice.

That said, I did have a few questions regarding when I awake in the morning- Do you think I should put on my left shoe first? Or the right shoe first? Socks before shirt? Shirt before socks? What's the advantages and dis-advantages between shirt first or socks first? Is one faster than the other? Would this order change if I live in California versus Maine? How do different materials slow or speed up the process- cotton versus polyester? Also, where is the best place to buy clothes and what credit card do you use that charges the lowest rate, smallest annual fee, and does it provide free airfare or coffee? Or should I be using cash in this economy and how do I tell if it is real money or printing off of Bucket's press in his basement..oops! Please don't make fun of this post - "any question is a good question" and I am passionate about this subject matter and want to learn as much as I can - I'm hoping that by covering all these issues and questions - it may set the stage for someone to provide the most information for me to learn and grow on this subject matter - i.e. it might be the quickest way for me to learn as opposed to figuring this stuff out myself.

Appreciate any and all comments- as I am very interested in learning as much as I can regarding the best procedure and most efficient dressing methods- trust me my intentions are pure- strictly a truth seeker.

1000 seems like a nice number to stop on- enjoy boys! I'll be holed up working in the lab on some top secret experimental forumulas- look for me in 10 years.
