Yoda told me a long time ago to place this in the incubator. Now, it has finally found a home...
[i]Yoda,
in Angled Hinging, the Clubface is constantly staying vertical to the surface of the Angled Plane (and more and more open to the Plane Line versus Horizontal Hinging). And this motion has no center. None. Thus, the basic characteristic of the Angled Hinge Action is a slicing, uncentered Motion. Yoda
Lynn - I'm not sure I follow why angled hinge is an 'uncentered' motion? Wouldn't an angled hinge motion be 'centered' in the wrist motion? Specifically in the bend/arch of an angled hinge?
EDZ,
Just to make sure we are on the same page - we are referring to the uncentered motion of the clubface and not the clubhead.
Horizontal hinging has a centered motion - like a door. See 2-C-1 #3. Meaning, both the clubface and clubhead are rotating around the same center. Therefore, there is no compression leakage other then what is intended, backspin.
Angled hinging does not have this. There is a little more to it - there is actually the uncentered motion of the clubhead and clubface...but essentially, in angled hinging the clubface and clubhead are not rotating around the center, therefore, the slice producing effect.
Whew. Been awhile. My brain is fried now...gotta crash out. I'll check this out again tommorrow - its been awhile since I had to think this much.
