Brian, it seems like Homer advocated a stronger grip than you teach,the left thumb and right trigger finger on the right side of the grip. Homer advocated taking the grip at impact fix which makes a lot of sense. At impact Homer's grip allows the left thumb and right trigger to force maximun downward outward pressure on the shaft. Your thoughts?

You can do my grip this way...i personally do.
mb6606 is talking about a hitting procedure, if he is applying pressure to the shaft with the trigger finger(#3pp), rather than just sensing pressure with it. This is usually a no-roll procedure with angled hinging, and the strong single grip works well with it. However, for a left arm, full roll(horizontal hinging), swinging procedure, Brian's weaker grip is better.
I am still learning on TGM and currently process to trying to feel the #3pp from top to impact and also working on the pitching position.
I used a single strong grip, such that when moving up (imaging a plane and move along with it) and try to get an open palm (facing upward of the plane) at the top. Coming down trying to sense the #3 and direct it to the ball along the plane, therefore getting the elbow in first for the pitching position. I hope this is correct, at least it works for the woods on the tee. For the iron, I found that if my wrist is tight, unable to uncock it quickly, will hit a fat shot.
Before that, I was using a weaker grip where the #3 just slightly on the right of centre, isn't it true if using this grip and getting into a open palm at the top you need to have more rolling on the right arm, otherwise your right forearm more facing down and coming down it will get into a punching elbow position naturally?
Thanks.

There is no doubt that a stronger grip will make it easier to achive pitch position elbow.
But the rest of your question didn't register with me very well.
Can you rephrase, please?
