The relationship of the clubface to the back of the left hand should be the same for all clubs. It is more dependent upon the grip type employed.
- The shorter the club, the greater the amount of right wrist bend set at impact fix since the clubhead is soled further back in the stance.
Not sure that is correct. Part of this may be a factor of the type motion being employed and the golfers address (body style, etc.)
I do no the term 'soled' should be used carefully. If done correctly the club falls to the ground and is no longer aligned as it was with impact fix.
- Low point occurs when the hands are under the left shoulder but because shorter clubs are soled further back, the low point for shorter clubs is further back than with longer clubs.
Low point should be the same for the left arm/club/left shoulder.
- The left arm flying wedge is not a perfectly straight line between the left arm and the clubshaft when viewed from in front of the golfer. The shorter the club, the more the left wedge contains an angle between the left arm and the club shaft.
Straight Line or Vertical Line? Impact Fix or Adjusted Address?

Here is an image of the setup changes demonstrated by Jeff that I was referring to:
Jeff is in impact fix here and shows how the wedge is placed further backwards from the left shoulder. I assume he is showing that his hands are in the same position for both clubs. So there is a larger angle between shaft and left arm for the wedge than the driver at fix when viewed from this position.
I think I was wrong about low point - it's the same for the different clubs. However, I still think that the grip gets "stronger" as the club gets shorter. I recall Yoda mentioning that the grip is aligned down the angle of approach and I think I finally understand what he meant. The angle of approach is more cross line for the shorter clubs since impact is further back from low point. So the hands should be more turned to accomodate this?
