Doing otherwise will effect the relationship between the sweetspot plane and shaft plane with its known problems (shank, and consistency). I think we all agree. Depending on ball placement, adjusted address can look different. If you move the ball back as each club shortens, then your hands may look centered for each club. If you use one ball location and move your right foot farther apart for longer clubs, then your shaft will look forward leaning as the clubs get shorter and less as the clubs get longer. The adjusted address position, as accomplished by keeping the leading edge square, moving the hands back and turning and bending the left wrist is the way I prefer. Already, my hands are positioned so that with a little extensor action, the wedges are re-established and the right forearm fans in the takeaway. I'm going to turn my hands anyway. Rhythm is started for the backswing. I mean that there is less of the feel that I’m placing the club on the backswing path and more of the feeling that I’m swinging the club. Whether the leading edge is open or square at impact somewhat eludes me. I’ve been more successful with the leading edge more square than open. IMHO it’s because the hands are still moving forward and down through impact. The clubshaft, hands and clubhead are moving together as a unit. Hmm?.. I don’t know.
