[O.B.Left]

Point taken, Yoda.

I think that was for everybody's benefit Bernt

The Hinge located at the left shoulder establishes the full and lengthy Primary Lever which is critical for full power shots and the control of same for both swingers and hitters. But you could argue that there are other instances where the hinge is located in another zone for an associated mechanical benefit. Im talking about short shots now, the Minor Basic Strokes.

You could swing from the Hands a Pause Minor Basic Stoke to effect a little soft green side floater cut shot. You could strap a putter to your belly ( though Illegal and not that beneficial ) and use your pivot to effect Single Horizontal putting. Arnie used hands only putting the Peck MInor Basic Stroke. Doesnt the Pause Minor Basic stroke with the Hands as the center of the impact arc suggest a different HInge Location? In the Hands? How about the Paw would it locate the Hinge in the left shoulder or at a place between the shoulders, a more centered location? Wouldnt the Peck Minor Basic Stroke suggest the hinge be located in the Hands? Are there implications to Low Point?
