psteiner,
Thanks for posting that article! It was a good read and Brian gave some good info.
Also cjgolf, good thread I'm learning from this one!
My view on the grip:
The grip is very important to maintaining the flying wedges.
To maintain the flying wedges the palms of the right and left hand need to being facing each other always. Because the palms need to face each other there are only a few grip types possible. My personal preference is turning the palms slightly to the right. This is a personal preference of many tour player's and teachers.
Anything you do that moves the palms away from facing each other will result in the need for compensations during the golf stroke.
However the original question was where do the v's point. I will get out my camera this afternoon and look at this proper set up of the flying wedges using a couple different grips where the palms face each other and give my opinnion (not certified, this is the only way answer).
Sorting through the Instructor's Textbook.

No, this is a slightly stronger grip than the initial article with a left thumb position that is in better "support" of impact. A very nice top of swing position there. Good elbow positions and a very on plane clubshaft/face.

anyone know why it changed between the 2 articles ?

Turning the left hand when gripping the club naturally places the heel pad on 'top' of the grip. But isn't the point to have the heel pad on top of the grip with a VERTICAL left hand?

So, everyone's saying the grip in this latest article is stronger than the old one.
Did Brian do this on purpose, or was it just due to random human error? Whatever the answer is, it just shows that it doesn't really matter if you don't get your grip absolutely perfect to the millimeter.

Position of the hands is also related to the angle of the shaft at address. My research indicates that, with the shaft angled forward, both hands should be turned about 45 degrees, with palms facing. Any other shaft position complicates the hands positions and requires one or more swing compensations.

45 degrees seems a bit arbitary..hmmm...and we have to take into account how much forward lean, etc....
But isn't it great we have TGM...which says that left hand should be Vertical to one of the three Basic Planes at Impact...which basically takes into account most of the factors involved (ball position, hinge action, amount of forward lean of clubshaft).
that just doesn't follow
BM was very specific about the placement of the left thumb
to use your possibilities:
"Did Brian do this on purpose" - begs the ? question that has been asked in this thread - why change - further - how did the greatest grip since golf was invented get relegated in such a short period of time between articles ?
"or was it just due to random human error" - well why go into such detail in the first place as to the exact location of the left thumb ?
"Whatever the answer is, it just shows that it doesn't really matter if you don't get your grip absolutely perfect to the millimeter"
mmmmm - hope this is true as per my earlier post in this thread - maybe I am not doomed after all
