You are right! That is one reason why young kids develop crazy accumulator lag. Post more.

I think a strong grip allows a player to hit the ball with the pivot because he does not feel as though he has to add with the hands.

Would it be possible to get pictures that match the referenced TGM grip numbers?

This is interesting. I just had my first proper lesson a couple of weaks ago. The pro took one look at my swing, which I(as best I could alone) modeled after the NSA pattern.(neutral grip, twistaway, wedding ring up etc), and he then said I had an extremely weak grip and was to "armsy".
He then gave me the strongest grip I've ever seen, told me to make a smaller backswing and said: "pivot, pivot, pivot" and "hips, hips, hips"

I immediately gained like 20 yards with my 8 iron but I also hooked some of them 30 yards left.
Don't know what to think.

I think the strong grip allows you to pull harder with the pivot as Brian mentioned earlier.
