Single vs. Double Wrist Action

I don't understand 10-2-B and never have. Do the hands/wrists work differently in 10-2-B than in C or D? 10-2-B just looks like a neutral grip compared to strong D and weak C. 10-2-B says wristcock only which implies that the right wrist doesn't bend. The picture for B shows a level right wrist. I can't believe it doesn't bend at least a bit when the left wrist cocks. 6-B-3-0-1 mentions the plane of the right wrist bend. Is 10-2-B as written compatible with 6-B-3-0-1. I use and generally teach a stronger 10-2-C than in the book and a weaker 10-2-D than in the book but it is still a 10-2-C or 10-2-D if that makes sense.

Can someone please explain to me exactly what 10-2-B is, how it can comply with 6-B-3-0-1, and how it is different from 10-2-C and 10-2-D? I've asked the question many times to authorized instructors and have never understood any answers. I can't even get my left thumb on the aft of the shaft unless I use 10-2-D. I place my left thumb top right of the shaft and not behind it where I put #3. I remain baffled. Thanks
In Start Up, with a 10-2-A or B Grip, the Right Wrist Bends only in response to the Flattening Left Wrist (a Horizontal Motion). It does not Bend in response to the Left Wristcock (a Perpendicular Motion). This sets the classic alignments of the Left Arm and Right Forearm Flying Wedges. Hence, the term 'Single Action', i.e., Left Wristcock only.

With a 10-2-C or D Grip, the Left Wristcock (again, a Perpendicular Motion) causes the Right Wrist to Bend. Hence, the term 'Double Action'.

Reference 10-2-0-3 ("Two Actions -- Horizontal [4-A] and Perpendicular [4-B] . . .").

Regarding the positioning of the Left Thumb . . .

A Thumb to the right of the top of the Shaft at Adjusted Address -- classically, Left Wrist Bent (and facing the Target), Right Wrist Flat, Clubshaft at a right angle to to the Line, and Clubface Square -- is behind the Shaft ('Aft') through Impact (with the Left Wrist Flat and facing down the Angle of Approach, Right Wrist Bent, the Clubshaft with Forward Lean, and the Clubface slightly Open), supporting the Inside-Out, On Plane Angle of Approach #3 Pressure Point Thrust.
