If you're working through the basic motion curriculum then per 12-5-0 6. "The Strong Single Action Grip (10-2-B) is mandatory throughout". Obviously you have options, so whatever suits you I guess. Ideally you want the pressure through the pressure points behind the shaft.

Yes, agreed and you do have options, several trillion of em.
Yoda often employs a 10-2-D grip when hitting. Its about the only way you can tell he's hitting unless you're standing right beside him and can hear the knock out punch he is giving it with his actively extending right arm.
When he's hitting he's more Ali than Frazer. Floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee. Still lots of drag and lag. Thats the way he does it anyways.
But start in Chapter 12. It is the only place to start your journey.
Component #2 -- Grip Type -- principally differentiates (1) the relationship of each Hand to the Inclined Plane; (2) the location of the #3 Pressure Point (first joint of the RH index finger); and (3) the number of Wrist Actions (Perpendicular or Horizontal or both) induced during the Stroke in either or both Hands.
The Strong Double Action Grip (10-2-D) mandates a Turned Left Hand and a Vertical Right Hand; a Pressure Point that is directly 'aft' (or 'behind') the Shaft, i.e., neither 'on top' or 'under' it; and a Double Action, i.e., Cocking the Turned Left Wrist (a Perpendicular Motion) causes the Vertical Right Wrist to Bend (a Horizontal Motion). In TGM shorthand, this is a T/V/A grip (Left Hand Turned / Right Hand Vertical / Pressure Point Aft).
In contrast, Grantc79's Grip features a Left Hand that is Turned; a Right Hand that also is Turned (not Vertical); and a #3 Pressure Point that is under the Shaft (not aft). In this configuration, his Turned Left Wrist Cock also Cocks (but does not Bend) his Turned Right Wrist (Perpendicular Motion only and therefore a Single Action). This Grip is labeled Strong Single Action Underhand (10-2-F) and is described in TGM shorthand as T/T/U (Turned Left Hand / Turned Right Hand / Pressure Point Under).
As an aside, when I do employ the 10-2-D Variation, it is almost always in conformance with the Two Accumulator Pivot Stroke Pattern (12-2) of the Third Edition. [Note: Any active Right Shoulder participation makes this a Three Accumulator Pattern.] My intention with this Pattern is to reinforce the Feel of "unrelenting Thrust during Release and Impact" (Active Right Arm Participation) and with a "right palm driven squarely at the Ball (Angled Hinge Action) -- no separate Rolling action".
Yoda your information is highly technical and i don't quite get all of it yet but I am constantly digging into the yellow book now adays and trying to learn it
Moving the shaft from the palm to the pad really helped and now I feel like I can get that grip a lot more comfortable.
As an aside Yoda when you are going to teach GSEB 1 and 2 near Rob so I can come get certified?

Yoda: Are you using the above grip 10-2-D when you are out driving Ted on the "Hitters Row" video? What is the key to avoiding hooking the shot with the strong left hand grip?

The answer is in yoda's post. "right palm driven squarely at the Ball (Angled Hinge Action) -- no separate Rolling action".

You can use that grip with a horizontal hinge of the clubface. As long as the left arm flying wedge stays intact - verticle to the ground - while the right palm is driven in a paddle wheel fashion.
Remember that if the #3 accumulator is zeroed out, all hinge actions take on angled hinge rhythm. Having the left hand more turned, how it hangs naturally at your side, but still 'flat' at impact, tends to reduce the #3 accumulator.

Reason: n/a
I'm certainly no expert, but the right hand in both pix looks pretty Moe Norman like. Are you sure you don't have too much palm in the RH grip?
Both hands look a touch too much in the palms, but your overall alignments are solid, certainly workable.
For the left hand, get the grip up under the heel pad (use Hogan's 5 lessons drill where you hold the club only with the heel pad and index finger as a check).
For the right, as a hitter you can work with what you have now, but you'll find more feel if you use a 'trigger' finger with the right index and have the club a bit less in the palm, more in the fingers - check that your right wrist is 'level' at impact fix.
