I agree guru....when the pressures on I would always rather produce the desired shot via clubface at address and use an angled hinge. For a low runner, for example, I would be much more comfortable playing a 9 iron back with a slightly closed face and use angled hinging. While a mid-body ball position, square face, and horizontal hinge will produce that same basic shot, that's more "roll feel" than I want to have to keep up with if anyone's watchin!!!
However, there are people who are exactly the other way around and that's also perfectly fine!! There's beauty in the freedom to acquire your own style.....
