10-2-D, hitting, angled hinging

[wolfman]

Per Chuck's e-book, when I bend forward and let arms hang. I see 3 knuckles (fingers 1-3).
When I take my grip at impact fix, it looks like 10-2-D - strong double action.

1. With that grip is the left wrist still considered flat, level and vertical?

I'm practicing in a simulator. When I employ hitting procedure (as I see it), all my shots (including Driver) are straight, BUT I don't have to manipulate the face of the club closed at address to produce this result.

2. Is this correct/feasible/possible, or is the simulator "screwy"?
