Are these components compatible in my swing?

I am LOVING "The Movie".

I've learned a TON. But I have a question.

In my pattern, I employ a right forearm takeaway, with hitting hand action, and angle hinging through the ball, on all my shots. I'm just much more comfortable doing this than using a shoulder turn takeaway, with swinging hand action, and horizontal hinging.

Are my preferred components compatible within the overall structure of the "Never Hook Again" pattern? Can someone using this pattern have right forearm takeaway, hitting hand action, and angled hinge action through the ball?

Thanks in advance.

Yes very much so. Never Hook Again tends to produce angled hinging for most players anyway, even if you don't use it by just the way it's designed.

What YOU have to work on is keeping the face "looking" at the ball more so you get away from that laid off position.
 
Is the fade that NHA produces a 'hold' fade?

I have tinkered my swing more towards an orthodox pure swinging motion that produces a tiny draw, and use NHA's up the wall idea when I need to hit a tiny non distance killing fade.

What do you mean by "'hold' fade"? For me, the shot starts left of my target and fades back to the target. Sometimes fades a little too much, sometimes I hit a dreaded pull if I come over it.
 
My fade is very slight and my misses draw or fade focused are always pulls that are salvageable. Hold fade- where release is held off. I actually feel like my start down is held off, but any way it goes, bm's up the wall idea gives me a fade when the course demands it.

self-mastery, Brian just says to swing hard left, but doesn't mention whether or not you'd hold it (presumably with an angled hinge) or to horizontal hinge (which isn't a hold, I guess). Which explains why I posted this thread.

Yes i guess you could call it a "hold fade" beacause you are using angled hinging versus using horizontal hinging and just making sure the face is open at separation.
