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.

I thought I was supposed to use the mechanics to lead to feel. My feel and mechanics are apparently wrong. So, I'm asking mechanically, how does one swing-with-angled-hinging?

Why would you want to Angle Hinge a Full Stroke?

Because I thought all the videos and the book say I'm supposed to as part of the basic motion curriculum. And the line I quoted from 2-G (para 3).

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.

I definitely hit for putting. For chipping (or I also like chip-and-runs, bump-and-runs) I swing with horizontal hinging. For short pitches, or in the scenario you described, I can hit with angled or vertical hinging.

The "problem" is when I swing I go ahead and horizontal hinge.

I thought we should learn all three hinging motions with swinging and hitting. I'm probably doing of those six I'm probably doing 3 correctly: swinging-HH, hitting-AH, hitting-VH.
