Ok, let's assume - and trust me, I am not trying to make an a$$ outta u or me (ok, mostly me, that we are strictly talking about angled hinging or hinging in general (versus swinging/hitting and the inherent or manipulated hinging associated).

WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST SAY!?!?!?!?

Would angled hinging not be more accurate due to more margin for error versus less margin for horizontal?

Again, I am not tackling Hitting/Swinging and body motion, etc.

Whatcha all think???

Depends on which margin you are talking about....

Angled hinge is by its nature more accurate from a geometric standpoint

But for that to happen, the player must 'do' something during their motion (keep the physics of the design of the club from opening going back)

So under no pressure, I'd say yes, angled is by definition more accurate

Horizontal requires better, smoother, Rhythm, but less 'doing' (active awareness of where the hand are)

All things considered, I'd say there is no real 'practical' difference for a player who has mastered both hinge actions, but that said, the longer the shot, the more towards horizontal, the shorter the shot, the more towards angled
