YodasLuke:

The reason I asked about hitting successfully with horizontal hinging is that I am having a heck of a time performing angled hinging. I guess it's because I taught myself to "release" by rolling my right arm over the left. Of course, because of the weather here I havn't been able to hit real balls anyway. Is angled hinging a result of little or no clockwise rotation of the lead arm on the backswing?

Thanks

Angled hinging is the result of the pushing force. It is prepared in the backswing. The overtaking, or right forearm passing your line of sight creates the action to follow-through.
