Purpose of the post is I was surprised by the forward ball position and the open clubface at address from a majority of players.This equalled a high draw.Even Vijay who I thought exclusively cut the ball drew it on this hole.
The players I saw with this set up were Tom Lehman,Ernie Els,Robert Gamez,David Howell,John Daly,Vijay,Jeff Sluman and Freddy Couples.
So,this had to be the horizontal hinge action.
Sounds like a "high fade" with an "angled hinge" to me.

YOU load and sustain the "LAG", during which the "LAW" releases it, ideally beyond impact.
"Sustain (Yang/陽) the lag (Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" (陰陽合一).
The "LAW" creates the "effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the "cause", which is the "intent" or "command".
"Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life.
Think as a golfer, execute like a robot.
Rotate, twist, spin, turn.
Bend the shaft.
