If I start a vertical hinge straight back from the ball (no incline) forcing my back shoulder (what feels to be) straight up, and come down hitting before layback without a swivel into a chicken wing, the ball flies straight and long. What is the proper TGM category to search for such a strange move? Would you say it is a really bad idea and suggest a better way for a newbie like me?

First,,,it's not a "vertical Hinge"; it's a "Wrist Cock". Second, if the Wrist Cocks but does not Turn, it's called "Single Wrist Action".

In TGM Terminology, you are using a "Turning Shoulder Plane with Single Wrist Action", and combining that with a Leading Bent Left Elbow acting to Release and Steer the Secondary Lever.

You're asking me, if I Think that this procedure is a "really bad idea" and should you change your approach before wasting too much Time.

My answer is: it's a "really bad idea" and should you change your approach before wasting too much Time.

Use the above sketch (1-L) to see and understand the following characteristics of all Mechanically and Geometrically correct Golf Strokes – form the longest Drive to the Shortest Putt per Chapter 2. visualize this System as based on three all-encompassing Primary Concepts on which all details can easily be attached as the surface – they are the Hinge Action (2-G) of an Angular Motion (2-K) operating on an Inclined Plane (2-F).
