Im thinking your hooks are more over Swivel than Hinge Action. I don't use much horizontal anymore. I basically use it now when I have a lie that tends to cause a left-to-right flight (ball below the feet, downhill lie) and when I cannot afford to go right. So I use that and it usually does a good job of keeping my away from the right side. North Georgia has a ton of those shots, probably just hit 4 of them today. 3JACK Richie3Jack View Public Profile Send a private message to Richie3Jack Find all posts by Richie3Jack
