There are 2 kind of release.

To make it simple talkin bout clubhead blur.

if the blurr is straight few degree out to the plane line.. thats Line.

If the blurr is more circular .. thats ARC.

In my understanding..... May not be 100% correct to your ears.. and some may argue.


The difference? ARC = more Body Pivot. ie Body Release. and a more ROLL effect. Because the body pivot provide the Closing of the clubface .. thus a more "horizontal hinge , courtesy of the pivot.

Straight line = Release down the line which goes a little further... ie a more ARM release and less roll and longer distance. When ARM throw down the line.. it doesn't roll , that much at least thus "angled hinge"

NOW... What is interesting in my opinion.. HOGAN uses ARC of approach. BUT , hold the clubface "angled hinging" . for alot of shots.. AS... his PIVOT provide the Horizontal Hinge. but his arm is no roll. thus .. maybe what is classified as angled hinging swinger.
