Hinging

[lagster]

To produce a STRAIGHT SHOT with HORIZONTAL HINGING the ball should be struck a little prior to low point with a slightly OPEN clubface, and the ball comes off SQUARE at SEPARATION.

Now LET'S GET IN TO THIS...

HOW DOES ONE PRODUCE THESE SHOTS WITH HORIZONTAL HINGING?

> FADE

> DRAW

HOW DOES ONE PRODUCE THESE SHOTS WITH ANGLED HINGING?

> STRAIGHT-- Is the club slightly CLOSED at IMPACT, and SQUARE at SEPARATION?

> FADE

> DRAW

Are there differences depending upon whether one is a Hitter, or Swinger, and whether on is using ARC, or ANGLE OF APPROACH?
For example, a SWINGER using an Arc of Approach, but playing everything with ANGLED HINGING?

Assuming you do not want to go off plane with your swing/hit. The clubface would determine the ball flight(side spin)- open or close as desired.

1. Fade - I dont think its possible. Closing is closing, no?

2. Draw - Top of my head, two ways, change the planeline or over roll.

1. I would think angled hinging, due to layback, would not result in a straight shot.

2. Angled hinging

3. Good luck.

Hmmm....All things being equal, I would think not. In otherwards, someone using angled hinging is not going to use arc of approach, unless they like a push/fade.

Now - give me a day before you guys hammer me!!!!! I am truely going off my noggin!

I was at The Ryder Cup one year... I stumbled upon Mr. Doyle there. I remember asking him if these guys that are FADING the ball are using ANGLED HINGING? He said something like... "No, these guys are all using HORIZONTAL HINGING nearly all the time." I believe he said that the faders were just slightly cutting across the ball, but were still using HORIZONTAL HINGING.

What do you think?

The procedure for producing draws and fades are the same whether you're using Horizontal Hinging or Angled Hinging. The first way is to move ball back from straightaway flight ball location and rotate Plane Line Open for a fade, and vice versa for a draw. The second way is to move ball forwards from straightaway flight ball location and rotate Clubface open for a fade, and vice versa for a draw.
