I have to admit, though, I appreciate Jeff Mann's tirelss efforts.
It's all about his medication. Either he's taking "too much" or "not enough". My understanding is that the Professional Bowlers Association bought him a set of Golf Clubs about ten years ago and that they're very, very, happy about the purchase. Maybe we can start a collection and buy him a Frisbee.

Hinge Action refers to the Flat Left Wrist producing that Motion by remaining Vertical to one of the three Basic Planes, i.e., Horizontal, Vertical or Angled.
Can someone draw me a picture of the statement above? The part that I am confused about is when it says vertical to the plane.Is there a different meaning to vertical than up and down?
Jerry, I too would appreciate the picture you requested but for some unknown reason there is a reluctance to depict something regarded as so critical. Plenty of words but still no pictures.

Homer's WHOLE point in this was to SYSTEMATICALLY and GEOMETRICALLY control CLUBFACE MOTION...
The clubface can ONLY make 3 motions...period....respectively each motion has an associated PLANE OF MOTION
1. CLOSE ONLY-motion of the clubface in the Horizontal Plane only (no layback)
2. LAYBACK ONLY-motion of the clubace in the Vertical Plane Only (no closing)
3. CLOSE AND LAYBACK-Motion on an Angled Plane...(closing and layback SIMULTANEOUSLY)
Hinge Pin always vertical to the "associated" Plane...there are 3...Vertical, Angled (of which there are "infinite" varieties) and Horizonta...so of the 3 Basic Planes there is ONE Vertical, One Horizontal and many Angled....
So you can see how the motion would work if you positioned the pin at 90 degrees to the plane of motion you select....
True Vertical (trap door movement...or attic door)...so the plane is VERTICAL so the hinge pin by definition is position vertical (at 90 degrees) to the associated plane in this case the plane is VERTICAL the hinge pin is positioned at 90 degrees thus horizontal...
Horizontal ... the plane is horizontal...parallel to the ground ...thus the hinge pin is positioned at 90 degrees to the plane of motion thus vertical to the ground...
Angled Hinging....pin positioned at 90 degrees to the selected Angled Plane...
Jerry, I too would appreciate the picture you requested but for some unknown reason there is a reluctance to depict something regarded as so critical. Plenty of words but still no pictures.
So now that you got your clubface motions on the Basic Planes...obviously you play golf on an INCLINED PLANE...so you have to get these motions on the INclined Plane....
The hinge is at the left shoulder....the blade is the entire left forearm flying wedge.....but the focus on the flat left wrist...that is the portion of the "blade" that you focus on to execute your hinge motion...
Angled Hinging is conceptually easy to get...you just postion the pin vertical to the inclined plane and boom you got it...
But with motion in the Horizontal Plane and Vertical Plane... it's different you gotta get these MOTIONS to HAPPEN ON THE INCLINED PLANE....thus you gotta have TWO HINGES....ONE THAT SETS UP THE BASIC PLANE OF MOTION...AND ONE THAT ALLOWS THAT MOTION TO BE LAID OR PLACED ON THE INCLINED GOLF PLANE...
NOTE THE TWO HINGES ON THE BASIC MACHINE....THE ANGLED HINGE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR LAYING THE BLADE (CLUBSHAFT) ON THE FACE OF THE PLANE...AND THE SECOND HINGE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACTUAL HINGE MOTION...
YOU HAVE TO HAVE DUAL HORIZONTAL AND DUAL VERTICAL....REASON FOR DUAL IS IT REQUIRES TWO HINGES TO GET THE BASIC PLANE OF MOTION TO BE PERFORMED ON THE INCLINED PLANE....
NOTE THE TWO HINGES AT THE SHOULDER JOINT...THE BASIC PLANE OF MOTION HINGE AND THE "ANGLED" HINGE THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PLACING THAT BASIC MOTION (HORIZONTAL OR VERTICAL) ON THE INCLINED PLANE...
Mike O sent me a photo of the Three Basic Planes a few years back when I was just getting into TGM . HOpe he doesn't mind me sharing. He made sure I got things right.
Great guy, very helpful.
Now if you need help with Triple Horizontal just email Daryl........luv you D.
