Are you saying that horizontal hinging only applies for small portion of the arc around impact and not the entire swing?

Basically, as long as the Clubface is "Closing Only" Through Impact, then yes. But notice that you can keep the Plate Vertical to the ground "Closing Only" Through Impact over a 4 foot head start arc, or as I do, over a 1 foot head start arc.

I Swivel and Turn During the Backswing. My Left Wrist is Bent and Cocked at the Top and my Right Wrist is Flat and Level. My Clubface is "Wide Open" as my Left Wrist Uncocks. My Hands are Past the Line of sight to the Ball when I Roll Into Impact. My Right Elbow is at my Navel. Because of this, my Left Wrist is slightly Arched at and After Impact. The Ball doesn't seem to go any Farther, but I like the sound. And "0" Throwaway. Boring type Trajectory, not low. Ball takes off like a bullet straight toward the apex. CF does all of the work. (Almost)

Homer Kelley is all about the Flat Left Wrist throughout the Swing. I can do that too, but my Clubface needs a 4 foot head start to make the Roll into Impact. Same Accuracy. Not the Loudest Sound. Same Distance. But no Less Risky to me. Trajectory Normal. Good Strike, that was nice, so what. I'm not flexible enough to have any less of a lead with a Flat Left Wrist.

You'll find all of this information in the Unabridged version of "The Golfing Machine".

1-K VARIATIONS
"Procedures that are not listed in their categories can, however, be examined and described in some manner understandable to their possessors and so become repeatable. This is the function of the “X” classification as explained in Chapter 10-10. Many variations are not listed in the Catalog simply because they are advisedly teamed with Variations that are listed. Applying them otherwise is a player’s choice and risk, but that does not make them Catalog omissions."
