I have been trying to set up with what I think are impact hands. What I am seeing at set up looking down at my hands, arms, feet are:
-pronated left forearm
-flat,turned left wrist
-bent right wrist
-clubface pointed right
-feet aligned to left to accomodate right facing clubface
-also I feel more of my balance, weight is on the left side and a little more upper body tilt to the right

What's wrong with this setup or should I add (or subtract)anything?
There is a lot of personal preference involved monkutare...

YODA has taught us that there is a lot of gray area in set up alignments. Most people won't be exactly by the book, but will add their own twists, possibly using multiple alignments from 10-8 and 10-9...

I'm not sure about the pronated left arm...

Your preference is to hit a straight shot, it sounds like based upon the teaching of D-Plane, which is great. I like to try to hit a "push-draw" so I set up with my plane lines square/square. Again, preference based upon visualization and the way your brain is wired.

Keep experimenting and find your personal preferences. If you like Impact Hands set up, I would suggest the TALY to make sure your hands are far enough ahead. The TALY made a huge difference for me... feel vs. real... I originally felt like my hands were ahead, and my left wrist was straight, but I wasn't even close to what I was trying to accomplish.
