Use the "Feels" to learn and apply an Angled Hinge for a Swinger. Angle Hinge is a "No Roll" feel at Impact. I like that procedure because it doesn't require any other change or manipulation and that helps prevent other stuff from creeping into your Swing Pattern, (i.e. bad habits). You can also use a 10-2-D Grip and Angle Hinge by changing the Paddlewheel Action of the Right Forearm to a True Angle motion through Impact. But that's too much screwing around. I would always adopt the more straight-forward procedure.

Why would you want to Angle Hinge a Full Stroke? I don't know if that's practical for a Swinger. What's to gain? How much practice will that consume? How precise can you become and at what cost? Unless you want to be a standard - off the press golf pro "Clone", I would stay on the road to enlightenment.

Also, have you considered using a Hitting Pattern for Chip Shots and Putting? Then the Angled Hinge becomes inherent. Think about this: a 5 foot chip with Horizontal Hinge out-of-the-rough, from above the Pin? Brutal. Hitters have it so easy. But, with those conditions it's time to pull out the old "Vertical Hinge" anyway.
