Hinge action and swivel are TWO separate motions. A Hinge Action is just several inches through the ball, although the intention and preparation starts from the beginning of the downstroke. There is a swivel action not only on the start up (first) but on the down stroke a swivel action before (second) the hinge action and another after (third and last) the hinge action. Homer said a Swinger may feel this as one large swivel- that’s fine but a hinge action is a left hand’s fine tuning of the clubFACE.

This is the official home of 6b productions- my thanks to Lynn who without Yoda and his talented assembly of friends- they would be blank.

Thanks 6b. For sure the start up swivel and all other swivels feel related, to my mind anyways. The old "as ye go back so shall ye come down" refrain. I dont want to take this post in another direction but perhaps you could answer something Ive been wondering about in regard to the finish swivel.

I've been re watching some of your greatest hits. Such classics as Yoda's "Swiger's swivel" in which he delivers his famous line "WHY? BECAUSE THATS WHERE THE GOLFING MACHINE LIVES , THAT WHY". As well as one of your David Orr master pieces "Power Package" part two.

Im surprised that above you say the hinge action is only several inches long. Perhaps I have it wrong.

Should you not hinge to both arms straight and then swivel back onto the plane? Also when I watch great swingers I see their both arms straight position being achieved a little later than in the swings of your average Joe. Is this wrong on my part?

I dont know how to post jpegs yet but in Yoda's DVD preview about the "throw" he appears to be swinging into a very late both arms straight or follow through. Maybe the straight on camera angle hides a slightly bent left arm. In the very beginning of "Swingers swivel" your slo mo intro shows Yoda's left arm bending earlier but Im wondering if Yoda was demonstrating an over swiveled draw with that swing.

Is there a benefit to achieving a later "both arms straight" which therefore extends the length of the horizontal hinge action? Is the rolling of "Delivery line, roll prep" really a horizontal hinge action that for the swinger can sometimes feel like one big swivel through the ball?

Love your videos. How can I view more of them?
