The pic on the right is the Trevino 10-2-D look. Due to the Turned Left Hand Grip, the release motion must be made with the left hand still in the turned condition and the Finish Swivel MUST happen later. Also, Horizontal Hinging with this grip type is a NO NO.

All that being said . . . There are some particularly those on the Darkside that actually recommend a Turned Left Hand BECAUSE it eliminates the need for any Swiveling PRIOR TO the Imapct Interval. Thus ELIMINATING what could be percieved as an "unnecessary variable." So you just have the Left Hand Turned to the Plane and it just rides the Plane Uncocks ONLY, which is "throwing the Clubface at the ball."

So an strong arguement could be made to support the bold statement.

Examples would be Lee Buck, Zinger and Morgan Pressel.

The main trade off is power. Lee, Zinger and Pressel could have all hit it farther using a weaker grip and full roll (transfer power). This requires better Rhythm however.

But they never would have been as accurate as they are.

It will be interesting to see if Pressel stays with the grip she has now, or if playing with longer drivers will push her to try to gain distance.

A vast majority of higher handicapers would do better with 10-2-D (and the fade it basically requires) because of the significant advantage in ease of compression as well as the lesser requirement of Rhythm. The problem arises when 10-2-D players try to play a draw
