JR,
Couple of useful alignments for hitting. When you set up at impact fix, notice your right forearm angle. That is one of the best keys for visualizing your downstroke angle of approach for hitting. Since you will be coming back into impact on precisely the same angle, take it down that angle on the downstroke as well!
The second thing to note at impact fix is the degree of bend in your right wrist, assuming your left is flat, level, vertical. That is the degree of wrist bend that you can
freeze from start up through impact. It's not necessary that it is frozen at that angle throughout the swing but is asbolutely necessary that the same degree of bend is present at impact. Just helpful if it stays frozen because you don't have to be focused on it.
Finally, your club selection will depend on how closed the clubface will be to the planeline. The lower the loft, the more closed the clubface at impact fix. Why? Because the ball stays on the clubface longer with lower lofted clubs because swingspeed increases. Angled Hinging causes the clubface to open slightly and layback at impact, so those compensations are necessary for straightaway balllflight.
And finally, finally...remember that hitting is a crossline procedure, so at impact the clubhead will continue it's crossline path through the planeline. You must shatter the glass through impact.
