A RHF1 is allowed to start open and set open, merely shortening the distance between his feet if he desires. Although if he engages the rubber in an open stance he is not supposed to be allowed to close the stance during the setting motion, yet few if any will balk that action. Little advantage is gained.

But as Bob states, to start with a closed stance and then to open his foot toward 1B during the setting motion would likely appear as a step to the base and likely should be balked.


Just my opinion,
