Look at my avatar,
Blackjack. This is
Impact Address of the Hands and Arms. The Left Wrist is Flat and the Right Wrist is Bent. The Clubshaft Leans Forward. The Right Forearm is On Plane. The Body -- not visible -- is
comparatively Squared Away, i.e., rotated slightly left of Target with the Shoulders lagging the Hips somewhat. The weight is slightly left. The
Hands lead the Club into
Impact.
Standard Address features the Left Wrist Bent and Right Wrist Flat. The Clubshaft is at right angles to the Line, i.e., no Forward Lean. The Right Forearm is On Plane. The Body is Squared Away, and the Weight is equally distributed between the Feet. The
Hands lead the Club into
Start Up.
Players have the option of using either the Standard or Impact Address. Standard Address is especially useful for Swingers. Impact Address is especially useful for Hitters.
From
either Address Position, Swingers must set up a 'Swing Back' motion (to Load the Left Wrist and Secondary Lever, i.e., the Golf Club). Hitters must set up a 'Carry Back' Motion (to Load the Right Elbow and the entire Primary Lever, i.e., the Left Arm and Club).
