To me, Angled Hinging is the easiest and most natural for putting.

Putting Hinge Actions
Quote:
Simultaneous closing and layback= Angled If one wanted to use Horizontal for putting... do you think 10-10-A or 10-10-D (Dual Horizontal) would be better? |
It would be Dual Horizontal because you're still on an inclined plane when putting.
If you use Angled Hinging it's approaching Vertical Hinging (more layback than closing) because of the steeper lie angle - and without the deliberate muscular manipulation that always accompanies Vertical Hinging. |
If I take my putting stroke to Followthrough (both arms straight) I horizontally hinge.
My stroke is kinda in limbo tho...still in tinkering mode...could settle on angled with more experimentation...I've been neglecting my putting lately...gotta get on track. |

The book says 10-10-A can be used on "shorter shots." What would that look like? |

To jump in, after reading that the putt can be just a minature stroke, I ended up using a hitting/arms motion stroke. Fan the right forearm, push through with a frozen flat left wrist and bent right wrist. Drive PP#1 down the line. Thought "compress the line", which I've drawn on my golf balls. My distance control and ability to start it down the line has so improved. More than anything TGM has improved my putting!

:D
rchang72, I am so glad to hear TGM has improved your putting. We all tend to fall into "feelings" and TGM will take those "feelings" and make them "precise feelings" |

And I don't think what I said earlier is right anymore. When I was thinking it was a HHinge I was extending my putting stroke to more of a full swing and adding a fuller pivot....it was in fact a HHinge.... ...but that's not a real comparison really...because you don't use much if any pivot in putting. So with arm/shoulder swing only and a stable/non-turning body and it's an AHinge. |
