I'm prolly adding some right arm thrust through Impact but I'm not sure.

I feel no inclination to Horizontal Hinge to tell you the truth.

Bbl....going to hit balls....:)....springtime :):):):cool:

I want to revisit this thread cause I've learned more....and have been working more with a Hor. Hinge lately.....was all Angled before, more or less.

...

I want to say that.....if you really are a Swinger....a "pure Swinger"....Bobby Jones type-deal......a Horizontal Hinge IS gonna WANT to happen. It might feel like you are Bending your left wrist through Impact....but you aren't....(well, maybe bends sooner past Imapct than with an Angled Hinge....but still Flat through Impact).

...

I WAS Hitting (some)...and not "Swinging with an Angled Hinge" (and with Startup/Release Swivels).

...BTW....I'm hesitant to say "Hitting a bit"....

....but to me that's what it is....cause I would take it to the End still (but with more Tracing the Plane Line and less "flail" than with my "pure Swing"...which is a STT...like Jones)........but then thrust through Impact.....creating the Angled Hinge (the thrust creates it, really...if you just spin...pull....like BJones.....you're gonna have a damn hard time with it....cause you are more resisting a Hor. Hinge, rather than making an Ang. Hinge happen, if you know what I mean..."holding it off").

...

I'm driving it really well with this "pure Swing" and Hor. Hinge now tho....no lefts either.....which is really what I was always guarding with with an Angled Hinge....glad I decided to work on a Horizontal Hinge more.

Have identified what has to be done to do it properly though (i.e. without a Lagging Clubhead Takeaway or STT, for one...you need none of that....and more STRAIGHT LINE Tracing...more Extensor Action).....I understand it more.....

So I thought I'd pass that on.
