I teach the Standard Fix (10-8-A) to both Hitters and Swingers. At Impact, the Left Wrist is Flat and the Right Wrist is Bent; the Weight is slightly left; and the Hips are "comparatively squared away," i.e., only slightly leading the square Shoulders.
So much for the "two cheeks" look from DTL that most of todays instructors look for at impact. This will come as a great relief to a lot of golfers.
Per 2-F, holding the Right Forearm On Plane at Address (9-2-1 #2) facilitates an On Plane Right Forearm at Impact (9-2-10 #2). See the photos in Post #102 here: http://lynnblakegolf.com/forum/showt...t=2383&page=11. And enjoy #91, too (my computer system gives me an enlarged click-on slide show of all 17 images; hope yours does, too). Pivot Action will cause the Right Elbow to be more bent at Impact, but the Feel (of Address and Impact) will remain the same.
As you have noted, Brian's Hips are "comparatively squared away" through Impact. This prevents the Body's Rotation from pulling the Hands 'under Plane' (and Off Line) during the Release Interval. This is the Standard Impact Fix condition of the Body (10-8-A / Editions 1-6). Sadly and ignorantly, the owner/editor of Edition 7 posthumously eliminated author Homer Kelley's longstanding language and reference to this most important characteristic.
In Start Up and Backstroke, the Right Elbow bends and leaves its On Plane alignment at Address. As the Right Elbow moves Off Plane, so does the Right Forearm. Then, as the Body turns and the Right Elbow bends and lifts the Left Arm (7-3), the Left Wrist Turns On Plane and Cocks.
Properly understood and executed, there is no conflict.
So what is it that determine how open the hips will be at impact?
Right elbow?
Planeangle?
Impact fix?

Remember, its not Component location or position but the alignments and relationships of their Motions and Actions that are central to this System. Many things can affect the Hips alignments: Stance Line, selected Delivery Line (especially for starters), participation of the Pivot, etc....
Linear Mode
