Here's a quick reminder guys: Homer said that a Strong Single Action Grip (10-2-B, Left Wrist Vertical, not Turned) is mandatory throughout the Basic Curriculum for G.O.L.F. If you're not sure whether to make the change...take the hint!

Also does gripping the club vertically mean zero acuumulator #3 angle? Would a vertical left wrist be something I should take on learning? You can probably summize that I stregthened my grip years ago because of fundamental flaws in my swing anyhoo.

To understand what Vertical means, look at photo in 4-C-1. If you extend your Left Arm straight in front of yourself, parallel to the ground with fingers extended, you will end up looking like 4-C-1. Now without Turning or Rolling your Left Wrist, lower your arm into a more golf-like position. Maintaining this Vertical position of your Left Wrist, you can place the club in the cup of your Left Hand (for minimal Accumulator 3, typically used for putting) or the heel pad of your Left Hand ('normal' amount of Accumulator #3). Therefore, using a 10-2-B Grip does not necessarily equate to zero Accumulator #3.

Now I believe part of your confusion is this. You think Accumulator #3 application is Rolling the Left Wrist through Impact, which is true (kind of). Hence you think having a Vertical Left Wrist means Zero Accumulator #3. Am I on barking up the wrong tree? If not, I will further clarify your confusion upon request.
