Yoda tells us in “Hinge Actions – a Primer GM#3” that …”the Scoring Lines-Left Shoulder alignment is identical for each of the Three Hinge Actions.” So if the plane was projected on the ground would the image above represent that alignment? If not how would you correct it?

The score lines would be offset from the vertical of the 'hinge action' plane by the clubface relationship that is required for impact... eg...for horizontal, slightly open from its vertical relationship to a horizontal plane....

Make sence ?
Mathew is it possible to change the diagram to how you believe it should look for horizontal hinging please?

Well I don't really like a 2 dimensional picture to show this anyhows. The low point should be farther forwards, the curve is also too big. Since this is from an overview - if we have assumed that the lines origination point is from the left shoulder (however in reality, the left shoulder is in motion rather from a stationary point and again it should be further forward), the score lines would be correct to these lines if not taking in the factor of the offsetting the vertical to the horizontal hinge action plane by the degree the clubface needs to be open for impact to cope with the amount of compression for an approximate straightaway ball flight before the ball kicks off the clubface....
However this isn't set in stone either cos the further back the ball is positioned, the more the relationship of the left flying wedge to the horizontal hinge action plane will open the clubface and there is a point where both the clubface positioning and the hinge action plane will be one of the same.

Mathew I would be more than happy to see your diagram demonstrated in whichever dimension you prefer. I am only after the facts; the dimensions in which they are depicted are of little concern to me. You are, no doubt, aware of Homer’s view in 2-N-0 (Geometry of the circle) where he says “The Angle of Approach Line, the Delivery Paths (10 23), the Plane Lines (2 F), and their Visual Equivalents (2 J 3) are all inscribed on the face of the Inclined Plane, but appear to the player as if inscribed on a horizontal surface that is, ON THE GROUND. This is an optical illusion that, when understood and utilized (2 P, 2 J 3), offers tremendous advantages because it furnishes very apparent equivalents to an invisible basic”
When the diagram is superimposed on the overhead view of Tiger the Low point appears to approximate his Low point but the arc may need to be increased to include both Clubhead positions. The Left Shoulder may be moving somewhat but the score lines must be pointing somewhere and with Tiger that appears to be somewhere near the left heel when depicted on the ground.
