I think you need to give any adjustment a legit chance.
Agreed, 3Jack. And knowing that the Component under consideration is a valid Variation gives one the confidence to pursue it until an informed decision can be made.

I think that there are a lot of hitters starting from Adjusted out there. Didnt Yoda suggest Brain Gay and Larry Nelson as examples? I might be wrong. Yoda himself does this too when hitting I think. He loves a Lagging Takeaway.

Dont think there's a "major pitfall", maybe not quite as simple a procedure. You have to apply Extensor Action, allow the for the flattening of the left wrist, bending of the right etc in Startup. I guess one of the advantages is the Lagging Takeaway. The Swing Back that Bucket mentioned. It does feel great and the CF does a lot of the work. Like hitting an impact bag on the way back and another one on the way down, you Lag in both directions.

Homer specified 10-9-A , Standard Address for both 12-1 Drive Loading and 12-2 Drag Loading. I wonder why though? Why not starting in Fix for 12-1? Anyone got any thoughts?

Yoda answered in the Ted Fort Hitters' Address Routine video, "to make it easier to switch back and forth between hitting and swinging."

Disadvantage for hitters is having to re-create the fix amount of right wrist bend.

Thanks Loren.

I should correct my statement above about Larry Nelson and Brian Gay being Hitters from adjusted. They are not. I had misinterpreted a story Lynn relayed in which they discussed the merits of a bent left arm at address to mean adjusted address, a bent left wrist. That was incorrect on my part. Brian starts from Fix but with a slightly bent left arm. Something he and Larry Nelson discussed at length one afternoon at Lynns club.

Love your posts.
