Mike,
The straight line Taly shaft alignment (with its Forward Lean) should be awkward at Adjusted Address. Impact Hands (7-8 ) are not Address Hands (7-9).
Regarding Fix as an Address alignment, we were practicing a chipping stroke, were we not? And here, given the minimum Stroke constraints, the Impact Address (10-9-B) is a viable alternative to Standard Address (10-9-A), especially in light of Homer's advice to practice Basic Arm / Elbow Action from Fix (Major Basic Stroke / 7-3).
The particular emphasis of our Barclays clinics was Educated Hands and their Impact Alignments. In the short time available, students learned to set the Body and Hands in their Impact alignments and then swing the Arms and deliver the Hands (via the Pivot: "Mark time . . . Right, Left; Right, Left") through Impact. And here, the Taly was an invaluable aid.
