Angled hinging is ingrained into my stroke even though I want to swing. This morning, I slowly performed the horizontal hinging motion from address to followthrough. My right arm was still considerably bent even though the leading edge of the clubface was pointing along the target line.
Conclusion: I am so used to the feel of angled hinging , that my right arm is not accustomed to the extra distance and around motion involved in horizontal hinging. I peformed the motion again and again, but this time consciously extended my right arm completely straight, while keping the clubhead inside the target line. I imagined a fly was stuck to my bicep, and I tried to pop it off by straightening myright arm completely.
Tangent time. I am really good at directing my hands, #3PP, etc inside out. However, I keep going inside out and the blur of the clubhead goes from inside out, past the target line, down the target line(steering), then finally outside in.
Initially, I thought the only culprit was lack of lower body rotation. However, I was also not tracing the plane line with PP#3. By trying to strike the ball from an inside out path, I was actually tracing a plane line that was going out to right field.
Am I on the right track that
1) the right arm ala #3PP is initially directed in a straight line towards the inside aft quadrant of the ball, and that
2) horizontal hinging with the left hand redirects the inside out motion of the wedges to an onplane motion so that PP3 traces the plane line parallel to the target line, and the blur of the clubhead is the proper inside-out-inside motion.
Still can't reconcile an inside out motion with tracing the plane line, which is going forward.
