Feels of Hinging BM#186

inclined plane. However, the left wrist doesn't rotate/roll in relation to
the horizontal hinge plane, and the hinge plane is the plane to pay attention
to during the hinging interval. The hinge pin/blade is vertical to the ground
from impact to follothrough. IS the above correct?

For angled hinging, the left wrist remains vertical to the inclined plane. Why
is it called a half roll feel, and not a no roll feel
?

I think after tongiht, after wading through the Yoda primer and other back
discussions, I may finally have an inkling about hinging. Horizontal hinging
still feels like one long/large swivel. Isn't horizontal hinging sort of(I
know you hate seems as if)like a partial swivel, when compared to the
inclined plane?
Even though I understand that during hinging, the hinge
plane is the focus for clubface control.

DDL,

In order:

1. Your first paragraph is correct. Congratulations!

2. Each of the Hinge Actions has its own distinct Feel and Clubface
Motion
through Impact. You are confusing the two, i.e., the Feel
of a Motion with the Mechanic that produced that Feel. Contrary to
your statement, Angled Hinging is described as having a No Roll Feel.
The Half Roll you mention concerns Angled Hinging's Half Roll of the Clubface
through Impact, i.e., halfway between Close Only and Lay Back Only. In other
words, the No Roll Feel produces a Half Rolled Clubface. And
vice versa.

Similarly, Vertical Hinge Action has a Reverse Roll Feel and an
actual No Roll (Square or Lay Back Only) Clubface alignment through
Impact. Horizontal Hinging has a Roll Feel and a Closing Only Clubface
(Full Roll).


3. You are again correct. Horizontal Hinging causes the Flat Left Wrist to
Close in relation to the Plane Surface and accordingly, the Clubface to close
in relation to the Plane Line.
