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?
Pictures haven't changed ...compare 10-2-A to 10-2-B...and you see exactly what he wrote in the early editions..I just can't believe we don't have more "nibbles or bites on this lure"...For cryin out loud...Tons of people want to know how to get 10-2-B...I type out exactly what Homer wrote... and it still goes over their head....Maybe I should've posted as Homer..then they would listen.....but I'm Annikan NOT Homer...or Yoda...So Yoda...please take it from here!!!

I think that I have a great Strong Single Action Grip. Finally. The #3 pressure point returns to the aft side of the shaft before impact, and the Flying Wedges are intact throughout. Finger tips of the two middle fingers of the right hand lie on the forward side of the shaft. Right wrist vertical.
Am I still missing something? Yes, the pressure points are on the sweetspot plane.

And I should add, that the right hand is low on the shaft compared to its higher previous position. It's more across from the left hand.

The Truth is in the picture's, isn't that what you taught me Annikan???
Here's what I see in 10-2-A and 10-2-B pics:
10-2-A-Because the thumb is on top of the shaft the #1 Pressure Point is placed over top of it to cover it. This pressure point on top put's the hands in a weak position or "off plane".
10-2-B-You can actually see the left thumb seperated or abducted from the forefinger a little. As a result this moves the #1 Pressure Point to the side or aft part of the club. This put's the hands in a stronger position or "on plane" with the sweet spot.
Am I seeing correctly Annikan. The more I know and can describe the better my eyes will become. You told me that too.

Catch ya on the lesson tee.
If you 're interested in having great structure of the flying wedges...you might want to consider reading this post....Hint ...Hint....Hint......
Homer is telling you how to get Pressure point #3,#2, and #1 on the same line...The line of the Sweetspot Plane!!!!!
Pressure point drops...
Not Rotated ...
Lowered thumb...
Aft side....
Now on the inclined Plane for Impact.....
Ahhhh?
There's some meat there....
Great Post and thank you. My right thumb was a tad high...it was aft but not in line with 3 and 2. This has made a difference in feeling the wedges and also feeling #3... This is one of those subtle things that I can think I'm doing correctly and I'm not... and it DOES make a difference. Thanks, for this and all your contributions.

Gracious....But Homer has a lotta of hidden gems that were in the early editions..that didn't make the cut in the latter editions....
