Well clearly Fatboy, there are good things about both, especially if you can have them together all in one package as far as size of wood and angle of the head are concerned. I have personally made something of a study of this very thing, in the interests of science and some of my conclusions might one day make interesting reading. One of the more curious observations I have encountered relates to shaft width in corrolation to its ultimate length, the two not being mutually exclusive. From studies which I undertook with vigour, I was to find that the two are sometimes indistinguishable at the moment of most impact, which is to say that per results hoped for, both were able to give satisfactory results. I did find however, that once the shot had landed, I was only vaguely aware or indeed interested in the method by which it had reached its destination, the very euphoria of having achieved something like a passably good approach overtaking any desire to dwell upon methods deployed.
As far as grip and the positioning best suited for my own needs, well this too formed a part of my scientific study, and still does on an ongoing basis. It all rather depends on whether one wishes to wedge, putt or merely drive for victory, but in all cases a firm grip on the shaft is required in order to maintain feel and concentration, sometimes low down, other times at the very tip. So far I have been unable to formulate any undesired effects concerning my grip, save for one solitary instance where I believe my nails hindered the follow through, causing some little pain, but I don't think this was worried about overmuch at the time.

Lizzie, I have given up reading your forum posts as I don't have the time. Nuff please!
Lol... Joking. I love how Ploape gives up the time to read them.
