Swinger using impact fixed

[O.B.Left]

Id agree with all of the above and add that a lot of swingers start from Fix, if only for shorter shots.

I hit from Adjusted on longer shots, so to each their own.

OB Left,
I hadn't thought about varing the address for different shots! Beautiful...thanks!

For a lot swingers those really short ones dont give them enough time to start at adjusted with a bent left, flat right and get to a flat left, bent right impact hands condition on the backswing.

Although for short shots from adjusted, Extensor Action Takeaway with the E.A, at the #3pp instead of at the #1pp can help to snap the hands into their impact conditions. But Im probably complicating things here though and you dont see that as often for the short ones anymore.

Like the others guys are saying though for fuller shots the takeaway is all about what you prefer feel wise.............carry back from Fix or a little lagging from Adjusted. Id say a lot of swingers use Fix up to the mid irons even. Play around with it. Try your driver from Adjusted and get the feeling of Lag going early with a "Lagging Takeaway" and see how it goes for you. As if you were hitting an impact bag on your backswing. Bobby Jones, Ben Hogan style. Just let momentum do its thing and get the hands to their impact condition.

The key issue with a swinger starting from fix is to make sure you stay 'on line' and 'up plane'. The impact fix start can lead to taking the club too inside and flat.

It can also make the startup swivel a bit tougher to keep on plane.

Angled hinge swingers don't need to worry about that though, and grip type plays a role.

This is an important, under emphasized issue. If you lay it off in the backswing, impact address encourages more layoff. It really requires a frozen right wrist in the backswing. If you are swinging, it is tough to get the momentum on longer shots with impact address. It is easier to move into an alignment than start in one and maintain it throughout the swing, at least if you are attempting a swinging motion. Please note that the above is only based on what I have found in my own swing.

The impact bag reference sounds like it might create a wonderful sensory feel for "lagging takaway". I plan to give a try and keep experimenting. Thanks.
