Left wrist = flat and level
Right wrist = bent and level
Right forearm = on plane with clubshaft
As you state, this position can be adopted at "impact fix".
As a swinger, i then move to "adjusted address" with mid-body hands (a recommended choice for swinging). As Yoda's post suggests this is usually accomplished with right forearm just above shaft plane. The wrist must bend away from its level position if clubhead-ball alignment is static.
Maybe if your right forearm is not on planes at adjusted address then the right wrist can not be level IF you want it to be on-plane right forearm and level wrist at impact??
This has only been a problem for me when I tried to join up a number of pieces of advice received from the forum which suggested :-
- level right wrist at Address. (i presumed adjusted address but maybe it meant impact fix address?)
and
- the fact that most people start with off plane right forearm at adjusted address. ( Yoda quote)
1) Still looking for an answer to my previous post?
2) Regarding your comment "The wrist must bend away from its level position if clubhead-ball alignment is static."
1st: Are you referring to the left wrist or right wrist?
2nd: Bending wouldn't really be used in the context of "level"- you would either be "level" or moving away from level would be cocking or uncocking i.e. an uncocked wrist or a cocked wrist. Please clarify what your referring to in #2 above.
If you set up with right wrist flat and level,left wrist bent and level,then surely it is simple to get left wrist flat and level ,right wrist bent and level?

My problem is not with the wrist alignments in isolation - it is in the context of the right forearm being slightly off plane at adjusted address( as per Yoda quote) AND then trying to get on plane at impact... the right wrist can't be level in both states ( ie . adjusted address and impact)
If it is not level at adjusted address then it seems to spoil the beauty of right forearm control of swing which , in my understanding, should merely bend at right wrist and bend at elbow to cock left wrist - all the time tracing plane line.
If not level at adjusted address then an additional small cocking movement is needed in takeaway as well as bend right wrist.
Or so it seems to me...

1 . Referring to right wrist
2. Apologise for using "bend" inappropriately but I did ad in brackets "( become more uncocked than level )"
I should have said" the right wrist has to change to a more uncocked position..."
