Is it possible to have a standard address where both the left and right wrists are slightly bent? I find having my right wrist dead flat at address will cause the clubshaft too lean very far back. What do you think?
I would agree with Tong...there is a lot of latitiude between the mid-body location of the hands and the impact fix location of the hands...Many variables including ball location, hand location, shaft lean, and plane angle are going to influence the degree of bend...
For instance with any degree of rotation of the Left hand being turned the lower the plane angle ...there begins to have "bend"..thus if raising the plane angle takes away the bend....on the Left Hand I'm referring to!!!

Interesting . . . hadn't thought of that. It does in fact work as described if you switch between turned and vertical.
As you have said in the above raising the hands "takes out the bend." Wonder if this is subconsciously why Nancy Lopez and Julie Inkster have that little "hitch in their giddy-up" to begin their Start-Up?

Yes...and i'd like to think i have a good memory to remember Yoda himself stating that he would setup in between impact fix and mid-body hands. It was something in the middle.
Yoda can you confirm or do i have to dig up the post?

Right you are, Jim.
Sam Snead used to imagine a 'holster' just inside his left thigh, and he would put his Hands in it at Address. It is a great image, one that I use and recommend to students.
If you practice a minute or two a day just gripping down on a 48-inch dowel, that Hand Location quickly becomes very natural. Take your grip with your Left Wrist Flat and the dowel leaning foward and running up nearly the length of your Left Forearm. Then, let your Left Wrist Bend a bit, and see your Hands in the 'holster.'

I have received many an aghast complement upon the 48 inch dowel rod emanating from the inside my inner thigh . . . .
