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

With the Tomasello approach...going back and forth from horizontal hinging and angled hinging is so simple and soooo effective.
Swing with the right arm and hit with the right arm....it's that simple.
Guys, I hate to change gears (it's angled hinge related though), looking at Masters highlights from yesterday's round at Masters.org, I found Freddy Couples executing a perfect little right arm hitting pitch shot (with angled hinging) at hole number 9, if you can find the highlight (masters searchable video, round 2, 2006) it's worth watching. Here is the title of the highlight:
Checkout how Freddy loses the lag at the end of the stroke...

For me it doesn't at all.....feel like I'm gonna miss ridiculously right that is. I hit to a trajectory right now that I'm very happy with. Straight fade to slight push fade. Perfect IMO. I don't have to feel like I'm ever holding off a hook.....I just rotate my torso to the left as hard as I can really....while Axis-Tilting of course....to get shoulder downplane.
I'm prolly adding some right arm thrust through Impact but I'm not sure.
I feel no inclination to Horizontal Hinge to tell you the truth.

I want to revisit this thread cause I've learned more....and have been working more with a Hor. Hinge lately.....was all Angled before, more or less.
...
I want to say that.....if you really are a Swinger....a "pure Swinger"....Bobby Jones type-deal......a Horizontal Hinge IS gonna WANT to happen. It might feel like you are Bending your left wrist through Impact....but you aren't....(well, maybe bends sooner past Imapct than with an Angled Hinge....but still Flat through Impact).
...
I WAS Hitting (some)...and not "Swinging with an Angled Hinge" (and with Startup/Release Swivels).
...BTW....I'm hesitant to say "Hitting a bit"....
....but to me that's what it is....cause I would take it to the End still (but with more Tracing the Plane Line and less "flail" than with my "pure Swing"...which is a STT...like Jones)........but then thrust through Impact.....creating the Angled Hinge (the thrust creates it, really...if you just spin...pull....like BJones.....you're gonna have a damn hard time with it....cause you are more resisting a Hor. Hinge, rather than making an Ang. Hinge happen, if you know what I mean..."holding it off").
...
I'm driving it really well with this "pure Swing" and Hor. Hinge now tho....no lefts either.....which is really what I was always guarding with with an Angled Hinge....glad I decided to work on a Horizontal Hinge more.
Have identified what has to be done to do it properly though (i.e. without a Lagging Clubhead Takeaway or STT, for one...you need none of that....and more STRAIGHT LINE Tracing...more Extensor Action).....I understand it more.....
So I thought I'd pass that on.
