My question, Daryl:
At the risk of repeating myself, that is awesome! Yoda, along that same line of thinking, 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?

thanks,

Pat

I tried a closed at the Top Clubface years ago and couldn't hit the ball. Normally I need to have the Clubshaft leading perfectly and on the Sweetspot Plane to develop good lag and impact. My clubface would look a little open at the top.

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).

Daryl, to quote an old gangster movie, "Johnny Dangerously," "Would you like some steaks? Lou, send him some steaks!"

I always wondered what a single wrist cock was! Daryl, pm me and I'll send you some Doritos! What is your favorite kind? Cool Ranch? Lime Surprise? You name it man and I'll Fed-ex a case to you!!!!!

Kevin, Jerry, OB, you all can have some Doritos!!!!!!


Bartender, Doritos and a cerveso for my friends!

Not "Single Wrist Cock". It's "Single Wrist Action".

Doritos: Plain

I was flashing back to OB's discussion of giving his wife the right amount pressure on pp# 3. It's almost Friday night here in Philadelphia, and, well, my wife and I are regular with the right amount of pp# 3, and she is taking lessons, to mix several metaphors.

I wonder if we can go back to the original topic. The off topic discussions were delightful funny. Since my first post I've learned a lot.
So to summarize, at impact the clubface can be (sometimes)shut but never closed.
Clubface can be open, layback or square depending on the deliberate hinge action one wants to impart.

Is that right?

It would help if you had a Badminton Racket to easily see the Hinge Action through Impact.

1. Horizontal Hinge: Closing Only
   
2. Angled Hinge: Closing with Lay-back
   
3. Vertical Hinge: Lay-back Only

The following is a most excellent video explaining Hinge Action (Rhythm).
