I reviewed it under one of the Manzella shorts, but I'm still having a tough time understanding the differences.
Brian's videos are a great visual tool to see the difference. Think of it like this, imagine the Ben Hogan pane of glass laying on your shoulders with the other end on the ground. Now imagine you lay you whole club on the pane of glass with the club face 90 degrees (or perpindicular) to that pane of glass. For angled hinging, as the club swung back and then forward while resting on the pane of glass, the clubface would always be at the same 90 degree anlge to the pane of glass (you probably figure out that the pane of glass is a rudimentary representation of the swing plane). For horizontal hinging, as the club swung both ways the clubface would actually rotate so that is lies ON the plane of glass (no longer at a 90 degree angle). For Vertical hinging, as the club swings back, the face would rotate down so that the clubface faces directly down to the ground and then as it swings forward it would rotate so that the clubface faces directly up to the sun (parallel to the ground). Hope this helps. Brian's video is a much better explanation.
Does Brian teach students to use all 3 hinge actions? Homer Kelley didn't necessarily like vertical hinge action.
I spent a lot of time working on the vertical hinge action shot for bunkers and around the greens.Only problem was it crept into my long game and caused some big problems.
I'm curious if Brian or any other instructors like one hinge action more then an other.
I would say that you only need to learn two: Angled and vertical. However if you could learn dual horizontal too it would be beneficial.
It would really help if you realized that there are no hinges mounted in the shoudlers.
Don't want to speak for Brian, but I think that what he means is that Hinging refers only to what the club is doing, irregardless of the shoulders.
VH-closing then opening vertically,I reviewed it under one of the Manzella shorts, but I'm still having a tough time understanding the differences.
VH-closing then opening vertically,
HH-opening then closing horizontally,
AH-neither opening, nor closing.
Consequently, there are, in fact, two more, "RVH, reverse vertical (opening then closing vertically) hinge" and "RHH, reverse horizontal (closing then opening horizontally) hinge".
BTW, every join in the body is a "hinge", which can move freely.
The Hinge motion is the face motion during impact and seperation correct Brian??????In the real world:

What is the Matrix short game ?????
moving the ball position , ie. low point with different hinge action???? and different clubs?????
