Are they generally faders or drawers of the ball?
If you have a 10-2-D grip, it means the left hand has already turned towards the plane and this shall be the impact alignment. Having the hand turned does not affect the hinge action as there is no actual roll in hinging, its a movement made by the whole left flying wedge, but it does affect the left wrist action.

Have a look at the golfers flail in 2-K and you have to think logically on how you want the flail and left wristcock motion to operate to emulate the flail. If you want the wristcock to be a perpendicular motion up and down the plane of your hinge action a wrist bend then becomes your wristcock (sketch 2-k#5). Because you have already swiveled or turned the left hand towards the plane, it makes the standard wrist action impossible because there is nothing left to turn towards the plane forcing you to performing single wrist action 10-18-C/1 of cocking and uncocking only. On the other hand if you accept that the flails swivel joint has turned already, your wristcock motion then will be visually flat and on plane(sketch 2-K#4).

With the vertical wrist action flail of 2-K#5 you can maintain your impact fix degree of right wrist bend and maintain the precision impact alignments of the flying wedges. However if the left wrist cock is onplane 2-K#4 the line of the wrist cock works also on the line of the right wrist bend which is why it is called double action but it destroys the precision alignment of the right flying wedge.
