I have a friend that insist on keeping his 10-2-E Grip.
He tends to come through impact in the same position, and
gets a lot of shanks. Although he has "swing" tendencies,
I suggested a "hitters" pattern to accomidate the appearance of
closing and layback. The yellow book does not go into the
good and bad points of the 10-2-E Weak Double Action
Underhand Grip. Does this grip do a better job for Hitters
than for Swingers?

TGM seems to indicate that this grip could work well for some short shots... probably pitching, and bunker shots etc..

You're right, TGM does not go into much other detail about this grip. With a little adjustment to the right hand... and you've got the often recommended 10-2-B Grip.

Maybe Mr. Yoda will chime in.
