OK All Hinge Actions take on the characteristics of Angled when #3 is zeroed both in terms of Travel and Rhythm. So we have a term , Rhythm with several meanings, again.
BTW if anyone is following along .... a "Flat, Level and
Vertical" Left Hand is Vertical to the selected Hinge Actions associated basic Plane .... Horizontal , Vertical or anything in between aka Angled.
This relates to setting up to a ball for shot shaping , in that when you put the ball back in your stance , your hands, more correctly your entire Primary Lever (left arm and club) must move back as well while maintaining the desired alignment to one of the basic planes. Its common for guys to keep their wrist watch, say ,pointing at the target as the ball moves back in the stance. This would only hold for Vertical Hinging!!!!
For instance, assuming Horizontal Hinging and Grip Rotation for a ball played back in the stance by a Manipulated Hands Swinger or a Hitter (almost everybody):
As you move the ball back in the stance, along the Arc of Approach , the Primary Lever must move back as well ,
while maintaining the left hands Vertical to the Horizontal Basic Plane Alignment. ie your wrist watch is pointing out to the rigth somewhat. Then without changing the hands alignment the handle is rotated in your loosened hands to square the clubface to the Target Line / Impact Plane Line. Draw shot tendency , but mitigated by Inclined Plane Angle since steeper planes take out some of the Divergence between face and clubhead path . OUT becomes DOWN in other words as Plane Angles Steepen. The axis of the balls rotation becomes less tilted. aka curve spin becomes back spin.
