For those that play a Strong Club System, is there a consensus on what your Partner's Redouble means in
Case 1 : Opponent's Double is Lead -Directing
Case 2 : Opponent's Double is some form of Take-out ?

Thank you

I use 'transfer' bids in competition.

1C*=(X)-XX=Ds, 1D would show Hs etc.

This really depends on what you want from your system and what your system is.
Also, your style. Do you want to punish opponents when they come into your auction or do prefer to do best to find your contract?
Sarcasm is a state of mind

I am actually coming at it from the defender's point of view.....The double by partner is a mandatory relay to Diamonds showing either 5+ Diamonds OR at least 5-4 in a Major and Minor.....Thinking about what responses I want to have over the Redoubler (including Pass)

FWIW, in IMPrecision, 1 - (X) is a real gift since we can disambiguate the two-way 1 response, keep the rest of the structure intact *and* preserve options to penalize them:

P: Really weak hand (0-4)
XX: Looking for blood, with 4+
1: Any GF with 12+ or so
1+: Unchanged, as before
