SoCal ... the distance between the elbows will be less at 'contact', relative to the distance between the elbows at 'launch'. This is because 'connection' is in effect a 'process', or series of 'actions', and not merely a holding of a 'position'.
At the start of the swing the actions of connection take place ... and during the connective process, the distance between the elbows will be reduced.
It is during the actual rotation of the upper torso that we desire to see the elbow distance remain relatively constant. Prior to that, we are establishing connection, and the distance between the elbows will be narrowed due to, or during, the connective process.
As connection takes place, the angle between the 'lead' and 'rear' forearms will change ... and the alignment of the knuckles needs to accommodate this change in angle.
Starting with the knuckles of the top hand roughly aligned with the wedding ring area of the bottom hand, is a good orientation IMO. As your hands go back to ‘launch’, notice how the angle between your forearms widen … obviously I’m making an assumption here … and that to accommodate for the increase in the angle between your forearm, the ‘orientation’ of the knuckle alignment will change.
