Right hand angle at address / flat backswing

[BrendanC]

I'm looking for info on the correct look/feeling of the right hand at address (and trying to get 'up the wall' in BS).

I notice in some top class swings that the right hand at address has a big 'down' angle in it.

You can see the angle it in Seve’s swing (below), where it is v.pronounced. I think Tom Watson has it too (and Jim Furyk sometimes, though his hands are so low at address the look is a bit different). All great chippers, interestingly.

I think the wrist is generally ‘uncocked’/'downcocked' at address in upright swingers and am wondering about how this relates to backswing plane.

Should/can the wrist feel deliberately like it is 'down' at address.

Edit: I'll add Vijay and Hogan - in Hogan, the angle kind of kicks in during setup.

(Background: I have an flat inside takeaway I need to fix).

Further reflection - the right shoulder getting out of the way in the backswing is what really allows a backswing to be more upright.

It is too great. I think so
