Hey all! I spent a few hours yesterday reading everything I could find on this topic, but I still have one unanswered question which is driving me nutz.
What function does the angle in the wrists serve at address and throughout the swing (Mike Bennett in the white shirt below) and why is S&T not compatible with straight wrists (Kirk Junge - blue shirt )?
To my mind having a straight line, as Kirk Junge teaches, seems simpler, but in my reading I found a post (link below) where Tom says not to mix and match. Good advice but why? Straight seems like a simpler way to get to impact to me.

Can @Tom Saguto or someone please explain this to me? If I don't get an answer soon I'm going to develop an ulcer.
Thank you!
Yes indeed, and having in the fingers further facilitates the proper wrist hinge - an important source of power and accuracy.
Also, if you notice in the shot shaping chapter ("Circles and Cones"), we can adjust the vertical shaft angle at address to influence curvature. A straight-line setup relationship does not afford us that opportunity.
Glad to know that your belly is feeling better!
