2-C-2
A "Cut Shot" is any Stroke using Vertical Hinging (10-10) through Impact regardless of Plane Line (10-5) or the preceding Wrist Action (10-18 ). Either the Dual Vertical or Vertical (only) Hinge Action should be used for the Cut Shot to avoid weakening the Line of Compression.

2-J-3
An "Outside-In" Angle of Approach sets up an Open-Open Plane Line in exactly the same manner as an Inside-Out Plane Line Combination, that is, with the Clubface aligned, per 2-J-1. Angled Hinging, then, will produce an action indistinguishable from the 2-C-2 Cut Shot except for a tendency to hop to the right, per 2-E.
The way I read this, the preferred way to hit a Cut Shot (in order to avoid weakening the line of compression) would be to use a Square Plane Line with a normal grip and to simply lay back the Clubface through Impact by using Dual Vertical or Vertical (only) Hinge Action.
Playing a "Cut Shot" from an Open-Open Plane Line with the Clubface turned to the right (the way it is commonly taught) would produce some sort of a Slice Cut Shot, with possibly higher ball flight, slice curve and a tendency to hop to the right. This would weaken the Line of Compression, making it more difficult to control distance and direction.

Is this correct?
Cut = face open to the path of the swinging club head.
Draw = face closed to the path of the swinging club head.

Great question. Definitions again. We need find out if you are talking short green side shots or longer fade procedure approach shots. Theres a difference
