Why I prefer the Overlap vs. 10-finger grip position.
The Single Plane golf swing is not a quick fix golf technique. It is a system, beginning at address, that simplifies the most important moment of the golf swing – impact.
Starting at address on two planes where the arms hang straight down at address, the Conventional golf swing is complicated. Because the arms are hanging straight down, a conventional golfer must lift the body into impact creating stress on the back.
This upward movement to accommodate the two planes is unnecessary.
The Single Plane Golf swing simplifies the golf swing by eliminating the need for the upward movement by starting and impacting on the same plane.

I don't think that position of the lower hand is an issue if a golfer sets up how you prescribe. if they preset before they are in a proper address position it could be a problem.
Switched to overlap after a year with single plane academy. I tend to grip too hard with rear hand and this will twist the club face closed. With overlap, the face is not affected nearly as much.
A very lucid and cogent argument concerning hand "orientation" and the over-lapping grip. The fewer variables in play, the better the chance of success. Thanks Todd. I also get quite the "callus" or bump on the outside edge of my trail hand ring finger (where it rubs against the lead hand fore-finger) during the season. Not painful, but does that sound okay in terms of how my hands are located on the club?
