The Left Hand and its Hinge Action is Clubface Alignment/Ball Control (Component #10). It is in operation from Impact to the end of the Follow-Through (Both Arms Straight position). The Flat Left Wrist is held Vertical to one of the three Associated Planes (Horizontal, Angled or Vertical). This is an Arm Motion and not a true Rotation of the Hand.

I think I'm only beginning to really understand hinge action (I've been swivelling through impact). A couple of questions:

(1) If hinge action is an arm motion, does that mean that the hands (during the impact interval to follow through) come through flatter with horizontal hinging, more upright with vertical hinging and somewhere in between with angled hinging? In an ideal horizontal hinge would your hands trace a path basically parallel to the horizontal plane (for all intents and purposes the ground) through this interval? Is that a closing only action hinge?

(2) Should the swinger feel a definite end to the swivel into impact alignments? Is there a stopping of the swivelling roll feel?

Thanks,
Chris

(By the way, it was only after seeing Collin's video that hinging (as opposed to swivelling) really started making sense to me - fantastic)
