Ive noticed as a drive load hitter that the further away I stand (which makes me bend over more) the easier it is to get the shaft on plane at address, and the better my ball striking.

Like you have mentioned before in your blog, most golfers, especially "late bloomers" are better suited to be hitters. I just find it easier to keep everything "right sided" Rt forearm on plane at address, Rt forearm takeaway, rt shoulder down plane, rt hand palm strike w/ #1PP, get rt shoulder to finish pointing at the target...
