[Yoda]

Yoda, I spent much time at the range this weekend and started to finally get a strong feel for hitting. I'm trying to "obliterate" the line. My problem is that I'm a hitter who is employing left forearm roll, a bad combo that often creates a hook for me. I seem to have better luck avoiding the forearm roll when I start from impact position. Can you tell me if this is preferable or not?

Thank you for your help...

Starting from Fix Address Position (10-9-B) is a customization of the Hitter's Drive Loading Stroke Pattern (12-1-0). However, it offers definite advantages -- particularly that the Right Wrist remains Bent in its Fix condition and the Clubface Alignment therefore remains undisturbed. Experiment with both Address positions -- that seems to be what you are doing! -- and determine which works best for you.

As far as the Left Forearm Roll problem goes, practice diligently the Paddle Wheel Action and the Plane Line Tracing of the Right Forearm Flying Wedge through the Impact Interval. Done properly, this will cause the Flat Left Wrist to be Driven Out automatically into the Hitter's correct Angled Hinge Action.
