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).

Sorry everyone, for the bad analogy.
