Well, here's a thought...
There's a difference between a normal pro's address position (Mr. Hogan's, for instance) and that taught by Machine advocates. Pro's have been taught to let their arms hang straight down with no thought of Wedge alignment at address, so put yourself into such a position and try moving to Impact Fix. Don't your hips have to open more than if you'd started in your usual (Machine-like) address position?
