In my 'feels', an impact address for hitters is more of an 'up' and a standard address for swingers is more of a 'back'. One of the key benefits of the classic address is that the hand positions basically force you to trace 'back' rather than 'inside', and keep you from getting on too flat a plane angle.

Imagine the shaft is a piece of chalk and draw a line as you drag back from a classic address.


While there is no specific mention in the book regarding this, feel the middle two fingers of the right hand and their pressure points on the target side of the shaft as you drag back.

That said, you most certainly can/should feel the 'up plane' of the right forearm in either case - back, up and in.

Using a forward press/kick in of the right knee as a swing trigger will also help you establish a 'swing back'.

YES SIREEE!!! Mr. Kelley said that the pressure points were the FINGER TIPS on the backstroke. He said that you need ENOUGH grip pressure to locate the Pressure Points. The backstroke lag is agains the finger tips.

Nice one EdZ!
