Hinge action has been defined as the blade of a hinge remaining perpendicular
to its Plane of Rotation. How does this relate to Horizontal, Vertical and
Angled Hinge actions
?

Our cat was at the vet, and I had only ten minutes to pick her up. Hence, the

sloppiness, but I can assure you, our cat appreciates it!

ukhacker,

Here are the answers to your questions in the order asked:

1. Pre-Impact, the Left Wrist Action (10-18 ) includes a Swivel (for Swingers
only). Swingers Swivel twice -- first in Start Up and then in its mirrored
Release. Hitters use only the Single Wrist Action of
10-10-C-2.

For both Hitters and Swingers, the Hinge Action controls the Clubface from
Impact to the end of the Follow-Through
. At the end of the Follow
Through -- also for both Hitters and Swingers -- the Finish Swivel once
again takes control and rotates the Clubface On Plane.


2. The Flat Left Wrist duplicates the Hinge Blade. By holding it vertical to
one of the three Basic Planes of Motion, you impart that same Motion to the
Clubface. Holding the Left Wrist Vertical to the Horizontal Plane produces Horizontal
Hinge Action
and a Closing (Only) Clubface. Holding the Left Wrist
Vertical to the Vertical Plane produces Vertical Hinge Action and a Laying
Back
(Only) Clubface. Holding the Left Wrist Vertical to the Angled Plane
produces Angled Hinge Action and a Clubface that simultaneously Closes
and Lays Back.
