A silly question for you ref the right wrist bend. When you go to impact fix am I reading you right that this is the amount of right wrist bend that you set for the duration? If so, how do you maintain that if you then go back to adjusted address without changing it.

Paul,
If you assume the Classic Adjusted Address (10-9-A) after Fix, then you lose the Bent Right Wrist. This is the preferred starting position for Swingers and is often used by Hitters as well. That means that the Impact Wrist Alignments -- Flat Left and Bent Right -- must be restored, preferably no later than the Top. Hitting or Swinging, the best way to do this is with applied Extensor Action (6-B-3-0-1) in conjunction with the Right Forearm Pick Up (2-F and 7-3).
Nevertheless, once the
'customizing stage' is reached, he felt that it is more advantageous for the
Hitter (with his 'carry back' Motion and Loading) to start from the Impact
position (10-9-B). That way, the Impact Alignments never change. He did not
feel that way for the Swinger, whose 'Swing Back' Motion and Loading benefits
from the Standard Address conditions.
Yoda,
We've previously discussed Larry Nelson's Address positioning (with his
Impact Hands, but without the Right Forearm on Plane or Hips Shifted and
Turned). How far would Mr. Kelley want us to go with the suggested Impact Address?
Is it simply Impact Hands, or should we go all the way with it?
I go 'all the way' with it, Armourall. Just be careful not to exaggerate the
Body Position. Comparatively Squared Away is all you need.
My personal keys are:
1. My Lowered, Centered and Stationary Head positon;
2. My Anchored Knees and Feet (usually a bit heavier on the Left than
on the Right);
3. My Left and Right Wrist Alignments;
4. The Feel of the Pressure Points in my Hands, especially #1 in
Hitting and #2 in Swinging and the always 'easy' Right Forefinger #3;
5. The #1 and #3 Pressure Points facing down the Angle of Approach,
not toward the Target;
6. My Right Forearm (and Elbow) On Plane and pointing at the Plane
Line on its own Angle of Approach;
7. My raised Left Shoulder and lowered Right Shoulder that gives me 'plenty
of Bent Right Arm' to Drive through the Ball.
8. In a nutshell, my Head and my Anchors and the overall 'set'
of my Flying Wedges Assembly.
Writing this out, it seems like a lot. But it's not, really. Remember, I've
worked on each of these things individually over a long period of time. So,
it's not so much a matter of me doing something as it is a matter of
the warning light flashing red if I don't do it!
I know this:
At Address, it is not unusual for me to have the distinct sensation --
particularly given the Pressures established in my Hands and the Feel
of my On Plane Right Forearm -- that I have already hit the Ball!
