Thanks comdpa but Im not sure I follow. Im intrigued though so please expand.

What is the benefit of the strong left hand grip? Are you talking a 10-2-D type where Right Hand bend is inline with Left Wrist cocking? Is the hair combing a plane shift in Startdown or prior maybe?

The strong left hand grip will help you retain more left wrist cock - try for yourself, with a "normal" grip and this one.

The combing the hair move is basically a trigger to start down if you will. Yes, it will result in shift to a lower plane. It will also aid in preventing the right shoulder from rotating off plane at the startdown.
