[quote=lagster]To produce a STRAIGHT SHOT with HORIZONTAL HINGING the ball should be struck a little prior to low point with a slightly OPEN clubface, and the ball comes off SQUARE at SEPARATION.[/]

Ok, I havent read the book, nor have it, but....I'll leap!!!

Now LET'S GET IN TO THIS...

HOW DOES ONE PRODUCE THESE SHOTS WITH HORIZONTAL HINGING?

> FADE

> DRAW

1. Fade - I dont think its possible. Closing is closing, no?

2. Draw - Top of my head, two ways, change the planeline or over roll.

HOW DOES ONE PRODUCE THESE SHOTS WITH ANGLED HINGING?

> STRAIGHT-- Is the club slightly CLOSED at IMPACT, and SQUARE at SEPARATION?

> FADE

> DRAW

1. I would think angled hinging, due to layback, would not result in a straight shot.

2. Angled hinging

3. Good luck.

Are there differences depending upon whether one is a Hitter, or Swinger, and whether on is using ARC, or ANGLE OF APPROACH?
For example, a SWINGER using an Arc of Approach, but playing everything with ANGLED HINGING?

Hmmm....All things being equal, I would think not. In otherwards, someone using angled hinging is not going to use arc of approach, unless they like a push/fade.

Now - give me a day before you guys hammer me!!!!! I am truely going off my noggin!
