Dr Mann
Do you have any theory as to why some pro-golfer trail hand grip sometimes loosen approaching impact (ie. Vijay Singh, Fred Couples, Phil Mickleson , Bryson DeChambeau)?
Clay Ballard published a YouTube video several years ago claiming that the golfers were loosening the trail grip so that it didn't impede CHS. I think he is implying that the trail hand cannot keep up with the angular velocity of the club approaching impact and will therefore pull back on the club , which is why they are loosening the grip.
CB's claim doesn't make any sense to me because I doubt loosening the trail grip so close to impact is going to make much difference to CHS.
Could the reason be that the golfers are running out of trail arm, therefore any premature straightening of the arm tends to cause the forearm to pronate and increase the ROC approaching impact. Therefore could the golfers be subconsciously loosening the grip to try and reduce excessive clubface rotation and avoid a pull or snap hook through impact?

DG DG, I suspect that pro golfers, like VJ Singh, who allow the trail hand to lose contact with the club handle through impact are using a pivot-induced lead arm-swinging action and that they "run-out-of-trail arm" by impact. Keeping the trail hand on the club handle when undergoing a "running-out-of-trail arm" scenario will predispose to trail forearm pronation and clubface-closure through impact. So, I would therefore basically agree with your opinions that you expressed in your last paragraph. Jeff.
