When I read 6-B-3-0-1 I infer that the right wrist bends at right angles to the plane of the left wrist cock motion. It seems like 10-2-C and 10-2-D grip types satisfy 6-B-3-0-1 requirements in that both grips insure that "Right wrist Bend will be on the same line as the Left Wrist Cocking Motion"(10-2-C) or that "the Left Wristcocking motion will be on the same line as the Right Wrist Bend" (10-2-D). 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

I am not qualified to answer your question but I would like to take a first cut at it.
Clap your hands together and move them to in front of your left shoulder. Note that 6-B-3-0-1 two wedges are formed the first by the left arm and the clubshaft- LFFW the second by the right forearm and the clubshaft RFFW the LFFW and RFFW are planes 90 deg from each other. NOTE- CAPS. AT RIGHT ANGLES TO THE LEFT ARM PLANE only 10-2-B are the palms together. In 10-2-C the right hand is rolled so that the right palm down and the right thumb against the left palm and in 10-2-d the left hand is turned so the left palm is down and the left thumb is in the right palm. with either C or D cocking the flat left wrist or bending the right wrist can not create planes at 90 deg but will create planes that lie on each other. The why this is problematic is a place I better not go . I am sure the experts will appear shortly.

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'.
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.
