Could the Johny Miller comment ment the motion had arrived at "pure" horizontal hinge 5" before impact?

I see it from horizon to horizon too , like a perspective drawing.
In regard to "this much".......it was my first lesson with Yoda. I had gone back and forth for years on turning or not turning my left forearm in Startup. I had no appreciation for Alignments they were "moves" that sometimes worked but often didnt. The "this much" Yoda showed me at that time was solely based on 1-L-6, keeping one end of the club or the other pointed at the base line, plane line. It was a revelation to me. Later I would learn of the different Hinge Actions and how any of the Three Zones can effect Horizontal Hinging .......it was "in the beginning" so to speak.
As for Johnny Millers remark, I dont think so Bear. I heard Johnny's comment about the "five inches" during the Sunday broadcast of the final round of the US Open. It was a sort of general statement about the swing, I think while he was critiquing Dustins swing. I heard it once , live , Id like to re hear to make sure, but my take at the time was that he was prescribing a "five inch" section of the clubfaces travel during impact where it should stay pointed straight at the hole. Which would be Steering. Type one Steering. Which Homer would say would produce a cut shot.
Im with Homer on that one. You can easily see it in little chip shots with Vertical Hinging after all. Let alone a driver.
