WHY is horizontal hinging the natural hinge action for a swinger? I am trying to become a true automatic release swinger but..... I still feel I hit too many shots that have an angled hinge to them. If I drag load down the inclined plane and my spine maintains it's angled relationship to the ground (i.e. I don't come "up and out" of the shot), why is CF not trying to simply release the club on that angled plane? I can see why you would have HH action if you were standing vertically to the ground, but why is the same hinging in effect while you're bent over in your golfing posture? I understand the hinge motions but I'm struggling with this concept... particularly as I try to let the swinging motion be totally controlled by CF. Don't mean to get too basic here... thus why I started the thread where I did. Thanks, CG cometgolfer View Public Profile Send a private message to cometgolfer Find all posts by cometgolfer
