Impact fix

I would like to thank everybody (especially Yoda) for helping to 'pad out' the Little Yellow Book. It is great to know that my search has ended but my quest has only just begun....
Starting at impact fix gives you structure and rigidity. When I found in the book where Homer said it was useful for hitting, I put it in my pattern. I wouldn't recommend it for swinging, beacause you won't be in a position to drag the club back. You'll be in a position to carry it back. The drive out of the right arm is what causes angled hinging, not setting up in impact alignments. We all welcome you to the quest. The mysteries will all vanish, and you can end your subscription to Golf Digest and stop
