I understand Hinge action controls the club face, but how does one set up to use these actions?
Ola Leslie58,
Congratulations on Your first post. Ok, baby steps. One step at a time, and keep away from stairs.
The hinge action controls the clubface only as the hinge on a door controls the doorknob. It doesn’t cause the doorknob to do something other than make it go for a ride. If you want to give it a different ride, then use a different kind of hinge. The hinge controls the ride.
Control the ride by keeping the hands leading the clubhead. It doesn’t need to be much of a lead. Change the ride by pushing on the primary lever or pulling on the secondary lever. You’ll soon understand.
Setting up is easy. As long as your hands are leading the clubhead before, during and shortly after impact, you will automatically employ one of the three hinge motions. We just don’t know which one yet. (It’s possible not to, but true for most people).
I've been working too many hours and days the past six months, and I haven't had any free time but business is great. Three or four more months and I can relax. I have only played two rounds of golf since our last lesson six months ago. But I work on fundamentals when I get up from the computer and I keep a dowel in my office. I played one round of Golf in Florida over Thanksgiving after not playing for five months and I still shot a 78. Chipping goes first. I say “thanks to Yoda” every time I swing a club.

PS. I already have your Spring Golf School penciled in. I’m not taking appointments from March through June just so I won’t miss it.

Sorry everyone, for the bad analogy.
Thanks Daryl,
Will change the ride with the sedondary lever.
Don't worry am a quick learner.
