[Yoda]

On the longer putts, would you then suggest more of a horizontal hinge? So
as a benefit/tradeoff in putting (and at least in theory, full swing) hinge
action would most ideally move from vertical, to angled, to horizontal as the
putt/shot became longer? [Bold by Yoda.]

Angled Hinge Action is the natural consequence of all Strokes
-- Putting or other -- actuated by Right
Arm Drive.

Horizontal Hinge Action is the natural consequence of all
Strokes -- Putting or otherwise -- actuated by Centrifugal Force.
Therefore, using Horizontal Hinge Action with a Right Arm Drive Putting
Stroke is unnecessary, incompatible and inadvisable. With the Short Putter
and a Swinging Procedure, Horizontal Hinge Action is perfectly acceptable, on
Long Putts or Short.


Vertical Hinge Action is always a deliberate mechanical manipulation
of the Clubface. It is the natural by-product of neither Hitting (Right Arm Drive) or
Swinging (Left Arm Centrifugal Pull). Therefore, it is better to use Angled
Hinging and a steep Plane as its preferred substitute.
