Coming to Grips with Long Hitters

Remember, Grip Types, per 7-2, are taken at Impact Fix per 2-J-1. In the case of the player that does not use Fix 7-8 or adopt it into their Address Routine 3-F-5 than Impact itself can give the best indication for the Grip Type taken. In the case of Couples and many other longer hitters, who starts their motions from Adjusted Address 8-3, their grips are dramatically different from their grips during his Impact 8-10 alignments. Mr. Kelley sated per 7-8, In-put-Out-put Power Ratio also is utterly dependent on Hand Location at Impact.

I understand that to mean that the there must be forward shaft lean at impact with a flat left wrist and bent right wrist. I don't think that it refers to wrist positional variations at impact.

My response was to clarification in determining Grip Type for Long Hitter (10-2-B vs. 10-2-D). "In-put-Out-put Power Ratio also is utterly dependent on Hand Location at Impact" was to stress the importance of how the longer Hitters achieve their length and the alignments of Grip Type. I did not mention wrist positional variations at Impact directly, but all of the reference numbers I mentioned can be tied directly with 4-0.

Do you believe that there is a causal relationship between wrist grip choice (10-2-B versus 10-2-D) and long hitting? If yes, could you please explain the mechanism?

No, not in of themselves. the Hands are merely adjustable clamps that allow the Wristcock, but no Wristbend, but they can influence Zone #2 Arm (Power, Force) components. For instance, a 10-2-B will give you the best opportunity to maintain the structure of your Flying Wedges 6-B-3-0-1, but if your procedure is one that accelerates the Clubhead Radially and throws the Clubface at the ball, then by all means employ a 10-2-D grip (reference 2-P).

Lotsa people probably end up with 10-2-D grips because they started out slicing the ball . . . . subconsciously the probably figured out they needed to have the face looking left of the target so they could play their slice . . . . as a result they end up 10-2-D . . . . many call 10-2-D a hookers grip but most of 'em fade it.
