I agree, Ken. Here's what Rollin Oswald has to say about leading hand placement in his excellent book I referenced earlier.
"The best place to grip or hold the forearm is at or just forward of the mid-point of the angle formed by the elbow and upper arm, close to 90 degrees. This angle offers a good compromise between supporting the gun and preventing it's lagging behind during swings powered by body rotation (I.e., overcoming inertia)."
Ed's answer is a good example of armchair expert "advice". Oswald has been there and done it. Ken and I have, too.
Believe who you will.
