10-2-D describes the grip I got into to cure the arched wrist. I can hit it with this grip but I do not feel the powerful position that I had hoped TGM would bring me.

10-2-B is the grip with which I have been playing for many years, except that I kept the left thumb and forefinger glued together in the past, now the thumb is aft of the shaft and separate.

But when I push on that left thumb with the heel/palm of the right hand, the left wrist arches. Since I like to set the right wrist late, that puts me in a very weak position at the top and inhibits a strong thrust with the right arm and shoulder.
I tried to create the arched left wrist by pushing on the heel/palm of the right hand. This thought came to mind. I hope it's applicable to our conversation.

The "below plane" stretch of Extensor Action adds structure to the Wedge assembly and mass to the lever system. Could it be that you are leaking Extensor Action in the downswing?
