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

If a 10-2-D reduces some power because you do not receive the full power of accumulator #3, then how come couples and daly hit the ball so far?
