JPrice,

I was referring to clubhead set-up within reason, per your example of "toe up" positioning. The position of your hands, arms, shoulders, clubhead, etc. will all be vastly different at impact than at address. This is due, as I mentioned, to swing dynamics. Address positioning does not take into account the downward flex of the shaft during the golf swing, nor the fact that your hands will move upwards three to four inches through impact, nor the relative positioning of the shoulders and hips due to centrifugal force during the swing, and so on.

What you want to do at address is to simply assume a comfortable position with which to start your backswing. This positioning should be one without stress and one that, in your minds eye, mimics the clubhead hitting the ball squarely on center face. In my own case this means an athletic posture with the clubhead parallel to the ground directly behind the ball.

David
