With Angled or Vertical Hinge Action, the further back (Up Plane) you locate the Ball, the lower the Ball Flight. In contrast, the further forward (Down Plane) you locate the Ball, the higher the Ball flight.
So, Horizontal Hinging offers only one trajectory for a given club in a given set of Clubs. In effect, 'one hole' in the sky. Only with Angled or Vertical Hinging can Trajectory -- higher or lower -- be effected.

For those who are still incubating, consider this:
When using Horizontal Hinging, Clubface loft will stay the same from Impact to Low Point even though there is forward lean of the Clubshaft at Impact, and no forward lean at Low Point.
Yoda, does Angled Hinging produce more backspin than Horizontal Hinging? Angled Hinging has a Layback motion which adds backspin, but also has Compression Leakage unlike Horizontal Hinging which reduces backspin.
