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?

This may not apply to you at all, but I found this for myself. Horizontal hinging is a full roll feel (no quitting, or steering going on) At first I struggled to "let it roll" , a steery flinch of sorts...this leads to the left wrist breaking down and it becoming the center of the stroke...Fat-city
