I thought you could take your grip however you'd like as long as the left wedge is intact? Are you just saying with the alignment he's chosen, it's hard to keep the left wedge intact and maintain rhthym? What's stopping him from taking that weaker left hand grip if he takes his grip at fix?

If he were to take the weaker grip at fix, wedges intact, it wouldn't be an issue (although he would have a weak left, and would need a slightly stronger right hand grip IMO).

The problem is that with his current grip, if he goes to fix and has both wedges in place, the clubface would be open. A slight arch to the left wrist is needed, which again tends to an open clubface, and is at best a 'manual' in-swing move.

Not bad if your hinge action/swivel is in good shape, and you want to always hit a fade (Hogan), but Tiger often appears to slip back into adding a bit of 'hit' with the right arm, appearing to put his clubface control in his right hand at times to save the shot.

Not a big change in his grip, a matter of a slight turn. He tends to setup/grip better with the short irons naturally from what I see. He is fighting alignments, rather than using them to his advantage.
