[Yoda]

Yoda perhaps I'm misreading your post above. Or more likely I have something wrong again. But all things being equal I have always thought the club head travel associated with Vertical Hinging to be longer than that of Angled.

Please set me straight.

From Impact to the end of the Follow-Through (Both Arms Straight position), the Flat Left Wrist is held vertical to one of the Three Basic Planes (Horizontal, Angled, or Vertical). This is the Hinge Action concept, and it is the player's means of Clubface Control.

Holding the Left Wrist vertical to the Horizontal Plane produces the longest Clubhead Travel. Holding it vertical to the Vertical Plane produces the shortest. Holding the Left Wrist vertical to an Angled Plane (somewhere between the Horizontal and the Vertical) produces a Clubhead Travel that is likewise "somewhere in between".

To verify, go into a static Follow-Through position, then simply rotate the Left Wrist through the three alignments. You will see just how dependent Clubhead Travel is on the Left Wrist alignment and, as a result, how each Hinge Action has its own Rhythm (RPM of the Clubhead and Hands around the theoretical Left Shoulder Hinge Pin, i.e., the Arm Swing Center).

Here's a little video I shot impromptu a few years ago at the close of our Golf Academy at The Barclays. It moves pretty fast, so newbies -- we love you! -- might have to watch it a few times to catch the drift. Stay with it, though, because it is the 'open sesame' to the three Hinge Actions and their Rhythms, collectively among the most liberating concepts in golf.
