It may be beneficial for some to think of hinging occuring between impact and followthrough, but high speed cameras dispute this notion. My guess is that there is approximately 60 degrees of horizontal hinging of the secondary lever between release and followthrough, with impact occuring about midway in most golfer's swings. However, the method prefered by TGM delays the release for as long as possible; this is clearly one of the optimum ways of doing it, but certainly not the only one.

First, the direct answer you seek and that I thought I supplied:

The Flail plays zero part in my explanation of Hinging.

Second, the Flail is used by both Hitters and Swingers to generate Angular Momentum. The first Flail (Sketch 2-K #1/#2/#3) illustrates the concept and the three-phase Law of the Flail. The second (2-K #4/#5) illustrates the Golfer's Flail with the Flat Left Wrist and the Left Forearm Swivel.

Third, unfortunately, we won't be able to make additional progress in this discussion because your concept of Hinging is a Clubhead Power concept and the TGM concept is one of Clubface Control. For further information on the TGM application, see 2-G, 7-10 and 10-10.
