Sorry,
Jim...t'ain't necessarily so!
Horizontal Hinging has only "one hole in the sky," i.e., the Clubface
Closes Only.
Assuming
Angled Hinging (
some Clubface Layback) or
Vertical Hinging (
only Clubfaced Layback)...
Pick a hole!
With Angled or Vertical Hinge Action, the further
back (Up Plane) you locate the Ball, the
lower the Ball Flight. In contrast, the further forward (Down Plane) you locate the Ball, the
higher the Ball flight.
So, Horizontal Hinging offers only one trajectory for a given club in a given set of Clubs. In effect, 'one hole' in the sky. Only with
Angled or
Vertical Hinging can
Trajectory -- higher or lower -- be effected.
