Irish Maverick,

It depends on the player.

I would reccommend practicing all three hinges in your basic and acquired motion.

You will find that one of the three hinges is easiest for you to reproduce (for me it's angled). That is your base hinge action, you must then recognize the different feels that the other two hinge actions produce. This is learning feel from mechanics as Homer reccommended.

Build your motion up from Basic to Acquired to Total using the three Hinges and discover what works best for you.

It may be that you hit most of your short game shots (basic and acquired) with angled or vertical hinges, and your full swing shots with angled only like I do. Or you may use a lot of horizontal in short game and full swing (I believe Jeff Hull does this).

The key is The Golfing Machine is flexible you can do whatever works for you. Once you understand the Geometry of the Flying Wedges and how they produce the three hinge motions. There are no percentages. Percentages limit the playability of the system. Now go practice and enjoy....Your Golfing Machine.
