I believe that Collin is a Swinger, so I am wondering how to reconcile your statement about the inclination of the clubhead to close (which is what I experience when I try to Swing with angled hinging) with Lynn's advice to Collin. RT With angled hinging, the clubface will not close during the impact interval as much as it does with horizontal hinging. This in turn will impart some "fade" spin onto the ball. A perfectly centered impact with horizontal hinging produces perfect compression and, given the correct ball position, a dead-straight shot. What Lynn means is that in general an angled hinge produces a fade. I was saying that when you do Swing with an angled hinge that due to the physics of Swinging the clubface WANTS to close. Each and every stroke you need to fight the tendency of the clubface to close down and produce horizontal hinging. So in summary: when Swinging the clubface naturally wants to close through impact. To make an angled hinge, you can't let that happen. If you do successfully keep the closing action from happening, you will produce a slight fade. As usual with The Golfing Machine, things come full circle once again.

Basically, everything in the backswing stays the same and everything up to impact stays the same. What you have to ELIMINATE is the SWIVEL. NO SWIVELING! Once you get to "both arms straight" you have to have this feel of (here we go) letting the clubhead pass your hands. Hope that helps. Exactly what I do too. Thank G__ I'm not the only one. Very interesting! ICT __________________ HP, grant me the serenity to accept what I cannot change, the courage to change what I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
