The main trade off is power. Lee, Zinger and Pressel could have all hit it farther using a weaker grip and full roll (transfer power). This requires better Rhythm however.
But they never would have been as accurate as they are.
It will be interesting to see if Pressel stays with the grip she has now, or if playing with longer drivers will push her to try to gain distance.
A vast majority of higher handicapers would do better with 10-2-D (and the fade it basically requires) because of the significant advantage in ease of compression as well as the lesser requirement of Rhythm. The problem arises when 10-2-D players try to play a draw
I'm not suggesting you are wrong EdZ, but how would you explain the accuracy of Ben Hogan and Moe Norman with these principles?

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)

Hogan let CF help. His release 'action' made sure CF could keep things on track and take over. Not a true CF swinger per se (like Couples), although you could say he was a CF swinger from release point on. More of a CF 'slinger'
Moe was more of a hitter IMO.
