Horisontal Hinge = Low Point behind ball?
Well, obviously it doesn't equal LP behind ball just because I'm using a horizontal hinge.

But, first things first.

Received the Alignment Golf DVD (Guys!, It is a disc, not a tape ) and watching the short game drills.

Well, it is freezing cold here in Sweden, so all I could do was practice in my kitchen. Then today, the mercury went above 0*C (that is 32*F for all our US friends) so I went down to a golf club that has an excellent short game practice area, and began working on Hinge Action. Loved how I was able to control distance by changing thru Vertical, Angled and Horizontal Hinges.

However, when I used a Horizontal Hinge I would hit fat shots every once in a while (actually a little too often for comfort). Self-diagnosis pointed to the left shoulder staying behind as CF brings the arms down. Granted, that is entirely related to feel, (and in this cold weather, no one else is going to watch me) so I could be wrong.

But why else, would a horizontal hinge be more prone to getting the Low Point behind the ball?
