The next step in understanding hinge action is to understand how the right arm's motion effects the rate of clubface closing.

Until you can get that, it is easy to confuse hinge action and swivel.

For a swinger, using standard wrist action, the release swivel puts the face back to perpendicular to the plane, but the rate of closing, the rhythm, is determined by the straighting right arm (no matter if that is a motion caused by the pivot's throw out, or an action caused by the right tricepts thrust)
