I assume he is showing that his hands are in the same position for both clubs. So there is a larger angle between shaft and left arm for the wedge than the driver at fix when viewed from this position. I think I was wrong about low point - it's the same for the different clubs. However, I still think that the grip gets "stronger" as the club gets shorter. I recall Yoda mentioning that the grip is aligned down the angle of approach and I think I finally understand what he meant. The angle of approach is more cross line for the shorter clubs since impact is further back from low point. So the hands should be more turned to accomodate this? I am unable for whatever reason to access the picture you are referencing. As I recall Jeff I believe stated that he lets the club define the location for full shots. Basically the club head leading edge when parallel to the ground will define the forwarding leaning angle of the shaft. The angle then should extend up the shaft to the left shoulder in a straight line. The physical position of the hands will change from club a bit. As for the right wrist bend, having a flat left wrist, then the amount of bend becomes more a byproduct of the right elbow and right shoulder. Take your grip, flatten your left wrist. Now with the left arm extended in front of you, bend your right elbow, keeping the left wrist flat. If you bend the right elbow outward, it will pull the right shoulder out and increase the right wrist bend. If you bend the right elbow downward, the right shoulder goes down and outward, but the wrist will retain about the same amount of bend. One factor in all this is the type grip you take, another is if you are swing(jeff) or hitting(ted) do to the stroke type employed. What really defines the amount of right wrist bend with a flat wrist is the right elbow and right shoulder position and alignments. Hope that makes sense. I don't believe for full strokes Yoda has ever advocated changing the grip between clubs. It would require a different alignment/mechanic between clubs then. Not the simplest of techniques to employ IMO. __________________ Good Golfing Martee Martee View Public Profile Send a private message to Martee Visit Martee's homepage! Find all posts by Martee
