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.
