First,,,it's not a "vertical Hinge"; it's a "Wrist Cock". Second, if the Wrist Cocks but does not Turn, it's called "Single Wrist Action".

In TGM Terminology, you are using a "Turning Shoulder Plane with Single Wrist Action", and combining that with a Leading Bent Left Elbow acting to Release and Steer the Secondary Lever.

You're asking me, if I Think that this procedure is a "really bad idea" and should you change your approach before wasting too much Time.

My answer is: it's a "really bad idea" and should you change your approach before wasting too much Time.

Not "Single Wrist Cock". It's "Single Wrist Action". :laughing9

Doritos: Plain

I'm sorry,"Single wrist action," not "single wrist cock"

I was flashing back to OB's discussion of giving his wife the right amount pressure on pp# 3. It's almost Friday night here in Philadelphia, and, well, my wife and I are regular with the right amount of pp# 3, and she is taking lessons, to mix several metaphors. :razz:

I wonder if we can go back to the original topic. The off topic discussions were delightful funny. Since my first post I've learned a lot.
So to summarize, at impact the clubface can be (sometimes)shut but never closed.
Clubface can be open, layback or square depending on the deliberate hinge action one wants to impart.

Is that right?

It would help if you had a Badminton Racket to easily see the Hinge Action through Impact.

Horizontal Hinge: Closing Only
Angled Hinge: Closing with Lay-back
Vertical Hinge: Lay-back Only

The following is a most excellent video explaining Hinge Action (Rhythm).

Its funny 4 months later and 50+ posts later and numerous readings of other blog I can answer my own question

Simple question may not have a simple answer.
Clubface may be shut for special shots.
For full shots clubface can be open(for fade) square (for draw)
I think shutting will lead to topping unless there is major compensation during the swing
There is a distinction between layed off and open clubface
Open being square and angled whereas layed off is more pronounced loft without angling the clubface.
I know this doesn't make sense but it the best way I can describe it.
Is there really such thing as as a closed clubface?
We impact the club with either square, open, shut,layed back club only
Closed clubface is a product of horizontal or beyond horizontal hinging at end of the swing. The clubface may be closing thru impact but is not closed at impact.

Sorry for the long drawn post(ramblings of a madman) but had to get it out my system.
