Your figuring it out. The Golfing Machine prescribes a Left Thumb that is on the aft side of the shaft, not on top and not underneath. Take your club press it into a door frame. See what left thumb placement allows you to get the most bend in the shaft. The aft placement is recommended to get the most support through impact. __________________ Aloha Mr. Hand Behold my hands; reach hither thy hand 12 piece bucket View Public Profile Send a private message to 12 piece bucket Find all posts by 12 piece bucket
