Then finally, comes the dawn: They realize that they must move their Hands much more forward (so that the Taly and the Clubshaft are parallel). For the first time, they discover for themselves the proper Hands and Clubshaft Impact alignments.
Then, during the Stroke, they've got to maintain that relationship. For that to happen, the Hands cannot Quit (3-F-7-B); instead, they must keep moving throughout the Stroke. And that means the student must keep the Clubhead behind the Hands. Eureka!
In the initial training, I have students set up at Impact Fix -- there is no Taly / Clubshaft conflict there -- and execute the Basic Motion (12-5-1). This is consistent with Homer Kelley's advice to "Practice this [Major Basic Stroke] first at Impact Fix" (Magic of the Right Forearm / 7-3). We then expand that into Acquired Motion (12-5-2) and introduce Pivot Action to Power the Left Arm through.

No problem addressed in Impact fix but at adjusted address it was awkward. I don't set up in impact fix except for chipping.
On the Taly site the inventor wore in it so the rod was more along the outer side of his forearm than over the back of the hand.
