Im not sure what Hogan had to say about the little bat exactly (does anyone have the Nick Seitz interview ?) or A.J. Bonar's "da bat" for that matter either (apart from what I gleaned after wading through the "golf dude in the basement" videos waiting for him to eventually cough it up.... don't say I didn't warn you if you try to find this on line. Its pretty funny but its really long).
Assuming the sweetspot does revolve around the shaft practically then the face would not be a lever I imagine. However the bit about Horizontal welding the point of contact together makes sense to me and my hands. But here's a question .... wouldn't the increased club head travel associated with Horizontal Hinging (assuming some #3 angle of course) increase the club head speed for any given hand speed?
PS If you imagine the face as a little bat you would tend to roll it ........but only Homer's Hinge Action concept has the precise alignments necessary to help you determine how much is too much or too little. But you gotta get Rhythm, gotta gotta gotta.

Yes, recall Yoda talking about Larry Nelson's "fastest move in golf" ?

I remember as if it were yesterday, MJ . . .
Larry Nelson was the dominant Ryder Cupper of his day (9-0 in his first two Cups) and three-times Major Champion (one of only three men to win three majors in the 1980s).
As we talked on the Atlanta CC practice tee, he balled his left and right fists in front of him -- no club and with his forearms level to the ground. Then, he turned both fists 90 degrees to the right. Finally, he twisted his balled left fist 'hard left', leaving his right wrist in place. He looked me in the eye, and said . . .
"Fastest move in golf."
He felt there was a "piece of string" between the two fists, and his object through impact was to "break the string" with his left hand.
There were no launch monitors then. Today's 'new breed' and their 'name' brands were a decade or two away. Meanwhile, great athletes were hitting great golf shots and performing 72-hole scoring miracles.
Whatever, this is what my friend Larry Nelson had to say . . .
The club face is the "little end" of a big bat, but that doesn't make it a little bat, unless you choked down all the way to the hosel!
Horizontal Hinging gives more compression because it eliminates the layback component of Angled Hinging.
Because angled hinge is an uncentered motion it loses compression compared to the uniform arc of the dual horizontal hinge. The angled hinge is not "welded" to the face, to the point of contact like the dual horizontal hinge.
one of the primary concepts of the golfing machine is to monitor the clubhead and clubface through the hands, we guide the motion through our Hands because the clubface will do accordingly. As if the clubface were the hands...similar to gripping down to the face..... How ever your hand rotates, that little bat does accordingly....
