Hi Curtis,

If you are hitting and then using horizontal hinging, then
you are using Special Wrist Action per 10-18-F where "Single Wrist Backstroke is given a Standard Wrist Action Downstroke."

Per 6-B-3-0: "With true Throw-Out Action (no manual Clubface manipulation), Centrifugal Force automatically aligns the Clubshaft and Clubface for Horizontal Hinging (10-10-D regardless of the Grip being used."

So contrary to what you think you are doing (i.e. hitting using horizontal hinging), it may well be that you are loading as a hitter (Angled Hinge at the Top) and coming down as a Swinger.
