You have options here.

1) Start from Impact Fix hand location - flat/level/vertical left wrist, bent/level/vertical right wrist, clubface slightly open to the target line. This is especially useful for Hitting, but isn't mandatory. [This bold by Yoda.]

2) Start from Adjusted Address - bent/level/vertical left wrist, flat/level/vertical right wrist. A mid-body hands position versus the "hands ahead" position of Impact Fix hand location. Especially compatible with a Swinger's backstroke motion.

If you choose to use #1, your Flying Wedges are set at address. Simply maintain those important alignments throughout the stroke. If you choose to start from #2, set those Wedges as soon as possible after Startup. Then maintain the alignments throughout the stroke.

Good stuff, R2D2. Soon you will join the Jedi!

To eliminate any confusion, jerry1967, remember that the Fix position Open Clubface is only for Swingers and their Horizontal Hinging. Hitters prepare for their Angled Hinging by setting the Clubface slightly Closed. Hitters and Swingers prepare for Vertical Hinging by setting the Clubface Square.

Topic:flat wrist at address

ok i am confused- explain the difference between a swinger and a hitter please.

Swingers use the Pull of Centrifugal Force to Throw the Club Out into Release. Hitters use the Push of Muscular Thrust to Drive the Club Out into Release.

Yoda... In the part where you described "taking the 'wobble' out of
the shoulders"... does this pectoral action actually keep the arms more
away from the chest? Will the back be straight, or will there be a slight
rounding?

At Impact Fix:

(1) Given a specific Golf Club length and Ball Location on the
Plane, e.g., on a tee or on the ground;

(2) With the Left Wrist Flat, Level -- remember, this is a 'High
Hands' partially Uncocked Condition per 4-B-1 -- and Vertical;

(3) With Extensor Action applied to the Left Arm and Clubshaft through
the #3 Pressure Point establishing the Flying Wedge Alignments; and with...

(4) The Stationary Head Position established by the desired Knee
Flex and Waist Bend (standing to the Ball 'in halves' with as
straight a Spine -- the body's backbone that does not include the Neck (that
joins the Head and Body)-- as possible;

Then...


There is only one place you can stand. And that will determine how far
the Arms are away from the Chest. Study 9-2-1-#2,
9-2-2-#2 and 9-2-3-#1.
