    Another excellent instruction video, Shawn. Questions, thanks:
    1. Lead hand is very firm grip, should trail hand be softer?
    2. Lead hand thumb. Short thumb or long thumb position and why?
    3. Rate of clubface closure. Delayed and fast or gradual and slow?

      Shawn dumps on the WRX forum and vanishes because he’s wrong and knows it.
