His wide open body geometry at Impact compensates for his 10-2-D grip.
Hook grip, slice swing, straight ball flight. I'll give you that it is a compensation, but I think it is ideal. You can kill it with minimal clubface rotation, minimizing side spin.
Meanwhile a guy that started up Natural Golf is still claiming that people like Jim Furyk are so accurate because of pure talent. Too many have done it too effectively for me to buy that argument.

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)

Furyk dinks it! Inside ten feet he is something else.
I've heard he can hit it long but really tries to control it on the course.
I'm not saying that strong grip and hard rotation guarantees power, that is for sure. Need to have the body for it. I can't imagine push elbow has ever made a swinger hit it longer.

Do you think these are "compensations" or compatible components?
Consider what plane he swings down on . . . can you put it the stuff together in Chapter 10 to make a stroke that works?
So you have identified in your posts . . . the following . . .
1. Turned Left Hand
2. Open Body
3. "Late Strike" - please tell me what you mean by that
4. "No Hip Action" - what does that mean?
Address #3 and 4# . . .
And
Would you agree that he is a "shut faced" player? If so, what does that mean? And what do you think has to happen inorder to play shut?
What plane do you think he is using in the downstroke? What do you think has to happen in order for him to stay on plane based on the 4 things you identified above?
Talk to me . . .

He is not a shut-faced player.
Swinger, Sequenced Release, Horizontal Hinge. He uses 10-18-B Downstroke.
