Got it OB, thanks for your comprehensive reply. With the arms at a distance, would you agree that as the left wrist cocks, there is a slight corresponding anti clockwise rotation of the right forearm?

A nice drill to check the takeaway is to get into an impact fix position, then lift the club up to chest high and turn the shoulders 90 degrees, without changing anything about the hands and arms.

That is a decent check on mid/top position, and you can then turn to face the new direction and lower the arms back down to see if you are still in an impact fix position (no turn or roll).

This is also a good way to see if the arms have gotten too 'deep'.

fix/top/impact/finish should have the SAME alignments for the hands and arms.
