The Rest of the Story

Jim,

No doubt, Angled Hinging results in less Clubface Layback (and hence more distance) than does Vertical Hinging. But, that is not the whole story here.

Try this little experiement:

Hit two full shots with a five-iron using Angled Hinging. On the first, stop at the end of the Follow-Through. On the second, complete the Stroke with a Finish Swivel. Determine for yourself which Stroke yielded the greater distance and report back. Thanks!

Yoda I know I don't post much on your site. Sorry for that. However this is a great subject. Keep it up! What does this do for your camp when it has a round house effect? I am fully a hitter and it would seem my swivel is full when my left arm is level to the ground.
