There is nothing wrong with starting with the hands over the left thigh with either address wrist positions. But….

Check your hip alignment. I think you are leaning left in your” hands forward address position” moving your head with it. The head at impact is always behind the ball- hips facing down target. Set your hips closer tothat of impact and your head should remain center with little of no need to move it to the right. Check out the Hula Hula thread. It seems that not every one on this planet can move the hips and shoulders independently. But good golf demands it.

I do think your head may be in a too much of a sway.

ps- Lagster is right- this forum is loaded with a treasure of information. I call it the "Dummies Guide to TGM" because Yoda has written clearly the secerts- locked from mere mortal eyes- of The Golfing Machine. And one good question is answered with another.

My left wrist is flat at setup and right wrist bent, my head is centered in between my feet (nose i guess is level with the ball when using a wedge from center of stance).

By the top of the backswing my head has moved back probably 2-3 inches - i've been trying to avoid this but it is extremely difficult and just doesn't seem like my body is built this way even with a half swing

So rather than fighting it should the head be more right of center when setting up with the hands at impact fix?

thanks all
