I find it entirely possible to keep the left wrist level when moving the hands from fix to mid body, whilst keeping the clubface square or even open to the plane line. I do that by not only bending the left wrist but also turning it. Now even if I'm wrong and that isn't the case, I still don't see it as a problem worth worrying about. Adjusted address is a compensation, we have many alignments that we don't want anywhere near impact, yet it works just fine. We start with a bent left wrist and make it flat, why not also make it level (not that I think that would be neccessary)? How much of an impact could that possibly have on ball flight and repeatability? I reckon if a golfer doesn't like the look of a closed clubface at adjusted address, so be it. Take the grip at Fix and manipulate the face square as they move their hands to mid body. JMHO. Maybe we should all just start from Fix and avoid any possible complications/manipulations/malalignments...

It's not a problem, but your left wrist isn't vertical if you have allowed it to turn at the setup. That's why you can keep it square or even open.
Also i don't suggest impact fix for swingers. Not enough rythym in the takeaway. Thats why some form of dragaway is better imo

IMO it is important to take your grip in impact fix. 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.
