Andrade is in a dead block position with his left arm off his chest BEFORE impact.

O'Grady and Hogan are connected in a powerful impact position that looks nothing like the impact bag video drill.

I still do not see the value of the drill extended into an impact bag a couple of feet in front of the left foot with the left wrist high and arched.

But then, I'm not a Yoda.

Like I said, the reason you see the exagerated look is because he is hitting a very heavy impact bag. If it were a ball, you wouldn't have the resistance and the hands wouldn't press forward independantly from the clubhead. You would get a look like this:

The benefit for having the bag forward of impact is because impact ins't a station. Followthrough is. You wan't to drive your wedges THROUGH impact not to it. You want them to stay in alignment until both arms are straight.

If you work with the impact bag, you will have a powerful, "Hogan like" impact position. Does Lynn look like he is doing anything exagerated here?:

That is what impact bag work gets you.
