The question is: “Is there an easier explanation of TGM 10-2-B grip so that anyone can perfectly place their Left Hand on the Clubshaft?” Answer: Yes First, all clubs have an inherent Hook Face design if and when the Clubshaft is leaning forward as it should during Impact and Ball Separation. Homer Kelley said: “The direction of the ball will be the resultant of the Vectors of the forces acting on the ball, unless all the forces can be focused on one line (2-C-1 #3). The direction control would be stabilized and in addition, the ball would be propelled by the sum of the forces acting on it, instead of the much smaller Resultant Force of scattered Vectors. The Vector of the spin-producing force cannot be brought into the alignment or there can be produced on the plane of the actual Line of Flight and thus exert no interference with alignment of the forces. Study text and sketches in 2-B and 2-C. The force of the Impact will hold the ball against the face of the orbiting Clubhead and so carry it along the same circular path. This places the ball under the laws of Centrifugal Force. Which requires that the ball leave its circular path at right angles to the radius of that path at the point at which it leaves that path. But the hook-face alignment of the Clubhead – designed to give it the proper relation to the Plane Line – diverts the ball from its true tangential path. This geometric alignment assures full production of straightaway velocity by assuring no glancing action other than for producing backspin. Study 2-J and 2-F.” Second, 10-2-B Vertical-Vertical-Aft VVA means that the Left Wrist is Vertical at Impact-Separation. What is Vertical? Following, is an explanation in Daryl-ese. When you position the Clubhead on the Ground with its leading edge square to your Target and the Clubshaft Vertical (not leaning forward), place a Book on the Target side of the Clushaft Grip. It will be Vertical. Lean the Clubshaft Toward the Target 5-10 degrees and the Book is no longer Vertical. Hmm? To make the book vertical with a forward leaning Clubshaft (but keeping the Leading edge of the Clubface square to Target), Turn (rotate) the Book to the right while keeping contact with the shaft until it is vertical (up and down) and you’ll see that while the Book is vertical, that the back of the Book is now facing right of the target line. This demonstrates Vertical Left Wrist at Impact. The Back of the Hand and Flat Left Wrist are facing to the right of the Target (Right of Center Field) and that’s where your Left Hand and Flat Left Wrist should be facing at Impact with that amount of shaft lean (that amount of Hook Face) and your Thumb will be on the Aft Side of the Clubshaft. The more you lean the Clubshaft, then the more your Left Hand with Flat Left Wrist faces Right of the Target line at Impact-Fix. Why didn’t Homer just say that? Because the book would be 5,000 pages thick. One more thing….. If your Left Wrist becomes Flat at the Top of the Backswing, then you must use the dreaded Simultaneous Release. If you want to use the All Powerful, Never Compromise, Super Duper Swingers “Sequenced Release” then you must add a compensation or forever hit balls to the left. DUDE!!! WHERE YOU BEEN?
