Im also somewhere between 10-2-B and 10-2-D. I've had a tac-tic for a little while now and find that it's very difficult to not have a Slight bend of the left wrist near the Top, if I go for 10-2-B that is not the case. I can't full swing with 10-2-B.
Does a degree of turn in the lead wrist grip lead to some wrist bend, the more turn the more bend?
There are some keys to 10-2-B that are very important.
First, the 'gap' between the left thumb/hand
Second, the right hand grip is in the CUP (near the base of the fingers, NOT up in the fingers) - in a proper 10-2-B the palms face each other, grip a ruler to find this feeling
Third - an overlap grip really 'locks in' 10-2-B - as with all things grip related, very small changes can have huge influence on the rest of the motion. As Lynn pointed out a while back, having the overlap be 'on' the index finger, rather than in the crook between the index and middle finger is one such small change with a huge influence.
The left thumb position is critical - on plane and supporting impact from BEHIND the shaft.
In effect, the left thumb supports impact in the same way for both 10-2-B and 10-2-D. The 'gap' is the difference.
The standard training grip on the market does a pretty solid job of showing 10-2-B, but only if you understand the points above.
The grip defines the rest of the motion in many, many ways. Always keep the pressure points in mind!
If you find you are cupping the left wrist at the top, it is likely the right hand grip is too much in the fingers (too much on 'top') and/or you don't have the 'gap' in the left hand grip.

Having never seen Homer's grip up close, just a guess that the first are his (aside from not seeing a gap, which may rule out that choice - a 10-2-D from an off camera angle?). The second looks very much like Faldo's grip to me.
Notice that the core difference is in the left hand, the right is 'nearly' the same for most good players.

Well then I'd have to make a guess at Wright, but I always thought she had her right hand more on 'top', less turned than in this photo. Otherwise, I can't say I've seen many grip closeups of LPGA players of the past (not that I have seen a close up of Wright's either, but from what I have seen, this could be her).

A hitter most likely with the belief system of a swinger...Hitting alignments...always trying to PULL!!! She did well with Master Yoda showing her the magic of the right forearm!!!Great lady...loves the game and the mystery of the elusive swing(We know...however...there are no mysteries...just the inspiration to solve them)

Interesting. We have spoke of your extensive research on numerous players who have a hitting pattern. Do you find that a lot of people are hitters with "most like the belief system of a swinger . . . Hitting alignments . . . always trying to pull!!!" Lee Buck may be one of these no? Also, do you find any inherent problems with those with hitting alignments and swinging thoughts? Seems like the alignments with the wrong thoughts could produce issues.
