World class summary, Edz! Does anybody have any idea how Duval and Couples, Daly (I meekly submit they use more of a 10-2-D) overcome the power reduction that 10-2-D represents for most, due to no transfer power. I use a 10-2-B, but all the long hitters I know have a turned left hand!
Again, fantastic summary!
In Couples case, he is one of the few modern day players who really harness CF, and the physics of swinging.
He still has transfer power, and IMO he does this because he 'cups' his left wrist at the top. That allows him to still utilize the physics of a swinger's sequenced release (transfer power), while not having to 'hold on' to avoid hooking (also compensating by his open alignments). Note that his back is taking the force of some of these compensations though.
I would consider Duval more of hitter's move, who doesn't use the swinger's sequenced release and PA #3 much. What he does have is the hitter's 'mass' at impact from his right side. As much as a swinger may be limited by 10-2-D, a hitter can take advantage, allowing a full right side drive of the right arm without fears of hooks.

Is the left wrist in 10-2-B more turned than 10-2-A or just the left thumb?
Ref: 10-2-A @ V/V/T and 10-2-B @ V/V/A.
Thanks

That is an excellent question, one that I am curious to know the answer to myself - how Homer viewed the hand vs wrist vs thumb positions relative to his grip definitions. As I read it, the thumb position is the key in his words.
That said, I think the relationship of the plane of the wrist cock may be better understood relative to the left arm flying wedge, and not the left wrist bones.
That allows for what appears to be a 'turned' left wrist, but still an 'in line' left arm flying wedge, based on an individuals anatomy.

I like the above comment from EdZ.
It is important to remember from 4-D-1 that when referring to Flat Left Wrist during impact, Flat Left Wrist refers to 10-2-B grip type. So if your personal grip type has the left wrist turned more than what is depicted by 10-2-B, then your visual check for proper impact alignment, ie flat left wrist, must be reflect this.
I seem to have in mind that "geometically flat" refers to this condition ( being 'in line' with the left arm flying wedge), though I cannot locate the book reference right now.
Please keep in mind this is only the interpretation of 3Putt.....so read at your own risk. I would like to hear an opinion from someone if I am on the right track or off base.
