The Picture below (supplied from Buckets unlimited archive) shows the clubhead slightly overtaking his hands after Impact. But this I believe to be acceptable when a solid Hinge Action is used because of the speed of the clubhead. Anyone would need a continuous swivel to stay in perfect Rhythm as far as it concerns the "endless belt" Pulley. So, I would call this a perfect Horizontal Hinge.
You can call it whatever you wanna call it . . . .BUT . . . . would you say that clubface is vertical to a horizontal plane . . . . hmmmmm?????

Not after it passes Low-Point. Which is exactly what this picture illustrates. After Low-point, the Clubhead travels Up and In and the Clubface begins to face upwards.
The Picture shows the slightest amount of the clubhead moving forward independent of the hands. This is to be expected and should be recognized as not only acceptable, but as the outcome of a perfect Hinge Action. His Left Wrist is very Flat and no longer has an arch.

Not sure I'm sniffin' it . . . . but . . .
If he made the move that you submitted in the original picture on post #1 with the old grip . . . we may see the all bouncing off that tree behind him .

I completely agree. Hey, I think BH was the best of the best and would still be today. The reason you're not sniffin' it is because either that glass of Ben Hogan Kool-aid is under your nose, or your Goats are too close to the open window again.
I'm not pointing out his flaws, only his perfect Horizontal Hinge Action. I don't wonder how went from a caddie to become a good pro. I'm trying to discover how he went from a good pro to the best of the best.
At issue here is the Plane of the Left Hand Wrist Cock , the Left Arm Flying Wedge.
Both the cup and the arch are Horizontal motions when Homer prescribed Vertical. (although he did mention the arch as insurance against Throwaway).
It's interesting to me that the cup with it's toe pointing down tendency is seen as an open club face, but when you take that cup down to Impact you have a bent Left Wrist, throwaway and a closed clubface.
I don't think the arch is a Secret or anything, a road to nirvana as a general rule. I used to look at it and think it was cool but now I see it as a compensation or idiosyncracy. I'm arched at impact too. But my left thumb just doesn't want to grip the club on the aft. I keep telling it to think of the aft as the top at Fix but it won't listen.
The other thing about that weak left hand grip I'm thinking is that can promote a Slide.

I know you ain't firin' arrows . . . . just messin' with you . . . but I ain't sure that we're seein' horizontal hinging.
