Me too jen.
I don't have lots of wristcock so my left wrist stops cocking then the left thumb really digs into that grip. I try to load the shaft into it....either at the top or in the transition.
I wear through the thumb on my golf grip really fast.
I do wish I had more wristcock...it feels limiting at times. It basically is what it is so long as Arched is the only way I can play though.

Not too easy to understand what you are really saying here - but...............
C0cking is an up and down motion whilst Arching and Bending are lateral motions.
Nothing to be gained and much to be lost in trying to add to your natural wrist c0ck.
And, compensations need to be made somewhere if you have an arched or bent left wrist at the top of your back swing or at impact.
But you knew all that anyway, right?

All I mean Burner is my left thumb stops the club really abruptly and solidly. (i.e. not much give at all)
I think it is partly due to a lack of wristcock. Which basically is due to a very Arched left wrist.
You can get a more acute angle (clubshaft/left arm angle) if you Bend your left wrist more, yes? (ala Sergio)
It would be interesting to know what kind of swings wear out the thumb on the glove the fastest.
I have heard Lee Trevino wears his out fast too.
My left wrist is weirdo-Arched at the top like his.
I am not sure about compensations.........I have a feeling certain things just fall into place naturally- for certain people.
You most likely are correct in saying that there is nothing for me to gain by trying to add to what is natural, BTW.
BTW Pt. 2...........this forum does not censor the word in which you are replacing an o with a 0 Burner!
Wrist cock cock cock!

i dunno, i have a slightly strong grip so i turned my thumb alil bit to the right instead of right in the middle...it felt better and i took my backswing slower.
