(The solution for me was pressure points and their maintenance either by simply holding on better or fixing a radius problem .... a slack radius can dial them down or off .........Luke, its the pressure points we are really swinging on plane etc, etc) -Hogan's grip at impact looked intact to say the least. -There for, in your long thumb photo, I suspect what we are looking at is a product of the camera angle and/or the look of a firm left hand grip at top. Perhaps the cocked left wrist with the clubs weight on the thumb, given his super week grip, changes its look to the eye. The club is stressing different parts of the hands, different pressure points at different points in the swing. In the second photo I think we are looking at the swingers #3 in start down.......the pressure moving down onto the first knuckle during longitudinal acceleration, arrow from quiver type acceleration. The grip looks different but is merely showing the effects of the changing, moving forces being placed upon it. I bet Luke has an opinion. Maybe with access to a fancy 3D program a person could move the cameras position around to show what the grip looks like from different angles. All of this goes out the window if Mr Hogan gets to impact with a changed grip like us normal people. I have been looking over photos and cant find an example. Thats were Im at anyways.
