In my studies with Alex Sloan, who was a Homer Kelley purist, hinge action was Impact to Follow Thru. At Cuscowilla I wasn't aware of any other context. Lynn talked about closing the door, rhythm, and pointed out that hinging was arm action not wrist action with the selected hinge pin installed at the shoulder. As a swinger I have no hinge "thoughts" on back swing. Only right forearm takeaway with tracing , drinking a beer to top(lifting left arm) with hands on plane. Downswing hands still on plane, taking loaded no # 2 beyond line of sight of ball and with my strong grip knuckles up. At top Delivery line roll prep occurs. Now I guess that includes the intention of taking out the plane line with karate chop performing the selected hinge action with a geometric right wrist. That hinge is performed to finish off the release. Hopefully the pro's that were there will comment on that 6 iron with vertical hinging. Keep it simple.
