Did horizontal hinging. Very powerful but I was hooking my 6 iron almost 30 feet left of target though it flew about 170 yards with temp of 40 degrees on the range. Did some pick ups and chops. Powerful, angled hinge ball stays straight, feels like sweet spot. Do you keep the right hand frozen in wedge as you "chop" trying to copy a karate chop or is that too literal? Since we had a little tourney today, I went to the swing with a pick-up and right hip drive. Very straight and long enough. Will practice the hinges. Shot a 42/50 w/38 putts top dressed greens, wind, 34 degrees on back 9. UGH. Thanks. Patrick Originally Posted by mb6606 Mr. Homer Kelley stated you only needed to do three things in the golf swing. Take the club up the turned shoulder plane, down the turned shoulder plane and learn a hinge. __________________ HP, grant me the serenity to accept what I cannot change, the courage to change what I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
