I find it interesting that after the 3rd edition the explanation of the 10-2-B grip type changed considerably...

1st edition
10-2-B V/V/A Pull the Right Hand back from the top pressure point position of Grip A in order to conform to a lowered left thumb position. This allows the Pressure Point to drop to an Aft position. Do not ROTATE the right hand to achieve this change. The pressure point is no longer on the plane of the wrist cock. The pressure point will be on the line of the Inclined Plane during Impact. The use of this Grip Type should be discouraged until Grip Type A has been mastered.


Wow!!!....I wonder if this was prior to the "Flying Wedge Concept" or did it give birth to it?

Pull the right hand back?...from the base of the left thumb?

Lowered Left thumb position...to the aft side now in the same line as pressure points #2 & #3?

Dropped to an Aft position?...To where the Plane of the Sweetpot and the Clubshaft meet?

Discouraged? ...

Why I wonder?????????????????

by 'rotate' I assume he meant 'turn'? Looks 'turned' to me, but perhaps that is due to the palm vs finger difference.

Interesting he would suggest mastery of A first - a much more difficult grip to start with IMO, but then it does force you to learn to 'roll'. I would have thought he would begin with 10-2-D and move back toward B, then A (assuming he thought A was better at the time).
