For those who are overly concerned about Hitting with a Horizontal Hinge, here are Homer's own words from 10-19-0.
"Hinge Action does NOT differentiate Hitting and Swinging. All are interchangeable wih reservations. Hitters using Horizontal Hinging must consciously resist the tendency of Right Arm Paddlewheel Action toward Angled Hinging. Swingingers using Angled Hinging must consciously resist the tendency of Centrifugal Force toward Horizontal Hinging. Both procedures require skill in Clubface manipulation per 7-2."
I, for one, am able to resist Angled Hinging in a Hitting Stroke, and have the skill to manipulate the Clubface.
