Left Hand Clubface Control
 

No, I was referring to Horizontal Hinging, the "Ideal Application" (of Linear Force) and its "perfect vector alignments" (2-C-1). Here the Left Wrist is held perpendicular, i.e., Vertical (neither Turned nor Rolled) to the horizontal plane, e.g., the ground, through Impact, thereby imparting an identical, 'Closing only' motion to the Clubface.

Alternatively, with Vertical Hinging, the Left Wrist is held perpendicular to the vertical plane, e.g., a wall, thereby imparting a Layback motion to the Clubface. This Action tends to disturb the original contact point of Clubface and Ball and results in a loss of Compression.

thru impact
 

thanks for the answer sir. That would still leave room for the forearm clubshaft lever to be on plane and the left wrist (fingers) pointing somewhat vertical to the ground, yet still not have the wrist totally uncocked at impact.


that is what I'm thinking anyway. Will do more research.

I'm a bit confused. Why would the left wrist NOT be totally uncocked at impact?

The Illusive Hinge Action Concept
 

Rumbler,

Your reply indicates that you do not yet understand the Hinge Action concept. That's not unusual...it is a paradigm for Clubface Control unique to The Golfing Machine. But...not to worry! Go to The Gallery and watch my free videos on the subject. They will help clear the fog.

A High Point down under!
 

A must read for anyone interested in TGM or anyone interested in improving their game. Homer couldn't have said it any better.

I'm also still a little confused about hinging even after watching the wonderful videos.

Is hinging just a function of the forward wrist or does it also involve how the forward shoulder turns?

The picture in 10-10-A -B and -C seem to have the hing mounted at the shoulder.

importance of exactness
 

see 2-P. The wristcock, first chapter


I keep on studying.. each bit helps. I can perform the hinge actions (short shots) but it is the understanding of specific concepts, whether HKs or others, that will take me to the next level.

Hinge Action
 

The Hinges are mounted at the shouders but controlled by the hands. Educated hands is the key. Moniter a flat left wrist and allow the horizontal hinge (swinging) to happen.
