Short v Long Thumb Grip

[mjstrong]

Do you think it's a fair statement to say that: a "short thumb" grip would be better suited (ie. have a comparitive advantage) for applying the downswing's initial tangential (and impact's pulling) force on the club, while the "long thumb" grip may be able to more easily apply the later-in-the-downswing beta torque?

Great question. That sounds right. What I do know is that the long thumb allows a more acute wristcock.
