Right to Left (Horizontal) Left to Right (Angled)
Here is a tip (a priceless tip at that)from the man himself, Tom Tomasello (I believe Tommy and I talked about it over lunch and on the driving range, it was one of the highlights of my 3-day school with Tommy). Use Horizontal Hinging for pins tucked on the left side of the green...Why? Horizontal Hinging with the right arm accelerated swing that Tommy promoted produces a right to left spin on the ball...when the ball hits the green it tends to continue spining right to left....towards the hole. The opposite effect can be produced with angled hinging...left to right spin...aim your shot at the middle of the green and watch the ball move left to right upon hitting the green. Yes, course strategy with HINGING...
