BerntR,

If "lower hands" at address works for you, then by all means, go for it!

That was my conclusion to, after trying to adopt to level wrists address for several months.

But, a question . . .

Will your hands also be "lower" at impact? Or, will they be higher (than at address)?

Higher at impact than at address. Elbow plane. Also higher left hip at impact.

If so, then how much higher will they be? And, if they are higher -- and they almost certainly are -- then how does going from "lower" hands at address to higher hands at impact translate into "more lag, more lag pressure and a longer distance from impact to both arms straight".

Glad you asked!

The answer to your lag pressure question is best described as different use of Accumulator #4. Accumulator #4 has a horizontal and a vertical component. The vertical is probably the same but I have a lot more left of the horizontal part of A #4 lag through impact. Not releasing as much A#4 before impact keeps the pivot more actively engaged. For me anywah. The feet are also working harder and I feel much more ground pressure through the ball. There's just more brute force through the ball and that gives a bigger error margin in more ways than one.

The impact alignment I have would make up for a very uncomfortable literal impact fix position, so that is out of the question. The right forearm is btw on the clubshaft plane at impact.

The Right Shoulder is further away from the ball at impact than at address. Slightly more turned perhaps but certainly more tilted. Therefore I need some slack between the Right shoulder and ball at address. Thus the lower hands.

PS: I have nothing against level wrists address. But I basically think the address position should support the down stroke and not the other way around. In my case there was clearly an alignment conflict with level wrists address and the pivot driven down stroke that I have in me.
