Thanks for commenting.

Very interesting post.

I used to have a 10-2-B grip that was more like 10-2-A, but I have recently adopted your suggestion of ensuring that the left thumb is on the aft side of the club.

I do agree that a 10-2-B grip allows the left hand to roll-over naturally into a horizontal hinging action post-impact. I presume that this natural roll-over action is more difficult with a 10-2-D grip, which would predispose to angled/vertical hinging and a fade.

I never though about the other potential advantage of a 10-2-B grip - that the natural roll over action allows for a better use of PA#3 transfer power. That's a good point.

Considering all these advantages to a 10-2-B grip, wouldn't it be the "best" grip choice for most golfers? Are there any major disadvantages?

What about hitters - is there a "best" grip choice for hitters?
