Yes, in general, ball being further back will shift your baseline more to the right (hitting out) therefore you will tend to see the amount you are cutting the ball decrease, without any other variables changing.
Very well written Dave and I thought it needed to be done bc the silliness is ridiculous.. I'll +1 on cbrians thoughts as well... thanks for sharing everything.
Great post Erik ... I am/have been in the process of converting to the "minimalist" camp in a fitness and golf sense ... some extra info you provided has officially pushed me over the edge... thanksssss.
My arm PP's "reconnecting" not "maintained" comment was simply a +1 to 1st recommendation > hips forward / stable axis / extension, etc... and not the end - all be - all by any means... IMO at som pt they need to be...
I would definitely recommend the evolvr program... you won't be disappointed... keep mind of your arm pressure points ... right armpit, tricep, elbow, should reconnect @ p5.
Good Luck !
