I wonder if the Hinge Pin is really meant to be vertical to the ground? Can at Impact Fix can you have a bit of tilt to the right at the top while still having bottom of the hinge pin precisely between the feet?

Clearly this hinge pin is not meant to be the blance point of the golfer in the golf stroke (if that was so, then weight would be equally distributed at impact).

A Hinge Pin is normally costructed such that its movement is at right angles to stationary post. If the right shoulder is driving down, might it not have to be tilted in order for it to be the most efficent?

These are intended to be just questions not trying to make an arguement one way or the other. Just trying to understand the application of the Hinge Pin.

This post seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle of all the banter back and forth, but it really caught my attention and I would like to hear more on this sublect. It would seem to me (maybe seems is if) that the hinge pin you describe would not be perpindicular to the ground, but more an approximation and extention of the spine angle to the ground.

I'm picturing an angled (approximating the spine angle) post, or pin with it's top near the top of the shoulders. The turning shoulder plane has a radius equal to the distance from this post/pin to the left shoulder socket, which is another hinge pin, perpindicular to the turning shoulder plane which in motion must be parallel to the sweetspot plane, but beneath it. Is this what you are getting at or have I missed the point completely?
