Oh great master, I have a question if I may. I'm sure the video will help clear this stuff up for me, but since we are talking about here goes....

This is what I'm doing....

#1. Hold the club in my right hand out horizontal to the ground, bending my right wrist...setting up right flying wedge.

#2. Bend from my hips while not disturbing my wedge.

#3. This puts the club into impact fix

#4. Grip the club with my left as well.

#5. Lean the handle of the club back to center, thus straigtening my right hand, and bending my left hand.

Here is my question....should my club face be closed after doing all of these steps? did I do something incorrectly? optical illusions? Jedi mind tricks? Help me left the boxes while standing on my hand Yoda...TY

Lynn,
I think Trane is addressing the following situation.

When going from impact fix to address- If you keep the leading edge in the same location- say square for simplicity sake- then the shaft will have to rotate- and you will have a stronger looking grip.

If you don't rotate the shaft - to have the stronger looking grip- then yes the clubface will close in relation to your plane line but that won't matter in that you set up for impact fix - so that's the important alignments that you've established.

You kind of have to look at that yourself to see what's going on.
Here's the basics to check this out.
1) Set the clubface down perpendicular to the plane line- holding it with your right hand only, and the clubshaft also perpendicular to the plane line - soled at it's appropriate lie.
2) Imagine a tee or some straight stick coming out of the grip- on the plane of the shaft- merely so that you can see more clearly the rotation of the shaft as you move the shaft around.
3) As you lean the shaft forward- keeping the leading edge perpendicular to the plane line- you will notice how the shaft rotates and affects the look of the grip at impact versus address.

Bottom line - if two grips look the same "strength" and one is at impact fix and another is at address- then the player with the grip at impact fix - has a "stonger" grip (left hand more on top- right hand more under)
