I need some advice on the veritical hinge. This is when the leading edge is horizontal to the ground at follow thru.
When I try to make chipping motion with v-hinging sometimes I feel the need to flip the left wrist. Any suggestions on avoiding flipping the wrist when v-hinging or should I just play that way?
Visually when I flip, I dont have a FLW at impact. My left wrist is cupped at impact Now I realized that's not acceptable for a full swing but how about a chip shot?

Bending and cupping your left wrist to simulate a Vertical Hinge is not a recommend procedure. Timing, Hand eye coordination and compression loss all add to the difficulty of ball control.

Although the Vertical Hinge is a complete act of Hand Manipulation, you can practice and become competent using a Flat Left Wrist. The ball control gained is a shot of higher than normal trajectory without spin. When the Ball lands, it hops a couple of times and stops without rolling. It's well worth the practice.
