Set the pitch address with one line and early wrist break

At address for the pitch, Craig Hanson puts the shaft and left arm in one line and turns the left foot out so the ankle, knee, hip and thigh can turn out of the way more easily. He then applies some wrist break and folds the right arm slightly so there is no longer an extension, making it easier to hit the ball on the way down; he says taking the club away with little or no wrist break is asking for trouble.
