Short answer: yes it's possible but you're always going to be fighting the inclination for the clubhead to close. If you do try it, make sure you feel less left wrist TURN going back and less ROLL coming through. I find it helps if I set up with a slightly open plane line and then try to "hold it off" coming through impact.

Swinging with an angled hinge is easy. It took me a while to find a way to reproduce it consistently and when i describe how to do it below some of you will probably chastize me lol.
Basically, everything in the backswing stays the same and everything up to impact stays the same.
What you have to ELIMINATE is the SWIVEL.
NO SWIVELING!
Once you get to "both arms straight" you have to have this feel of (here we go) letting the clubhead pass your hands.
Hope that helps.

I Swivel on the way back.....open it up about as much as I possibly can....then Angled Hinge on the way through. No lefts.
Doesn't feel the least bit hard for me to stop the Roll through the ball.....in fact, this is the best I've ever been at eliminating the left side...and the trajectory isn't weak or with too much fade either.
Don't feel like I have to resist anything at all....especially cause I haven't been missing left really at all.

Thanks for the comment BM. Would opening it up on the way back equate to horizontal hinging? also when then not swiveling back on the way down leave the ball to the right? I thought if we opened it on the way back then we had to close it on the way down. Thanks for any help mate

Exactly what I do too. Thank G__ I'm not the only one.

Jim,
When you say "(b)asically, everything in the backswing stays the same and everything up to impact stays the same" does this mean you use a typical Swinger's takeaway swivel and sequenced release?

Exactly. Same takeaway, same sequenced release, same downswing move.
I just eliminate the swivel by letting my left wrist breakdown after both arms straight. However i have REALLY good clubface control. So this may not be the smartest option for everyone.
