I know that for a HHinger:

open=fade
closed=draw

...

What's it supposed to do if you use Angled Hinge?....starting direction/curvature.

It's possible the op, birdie man, can get the answer from what was posted. That's not so bad.

If you want more information, maybe just ask, and in the process recall that politeness doesn't cost a thing.

Can't you just 'splain it to us?

better from Homer than from me, give me a year or two or ten, then maybe, if you're nice...!

Why must you cite the darn book, man?

see above.

Can't you for once be user-friendly?

:) ....will that do?

btw, the darn book does a pretty good job of splainin it, and a little more in-depth. And, it's not the easiest to find, just happens to be part of my quick reference cheat sheet .

Inevitably, this is what is wrong with some of these forums. See, that's what's refreshing about Brian and Tom. When you ask a question, they give you an answer; they don't tell you to look in the book or cite the passages verbatim for you. User friendly.

Well if I did more than quote the book, think of the errors you might absorb!

But, nonetheless, if you can brave this, section 7-2 mentions three variables affecting the situation: ball position, grip, and target line.

So what do we want to simplify from these 9 combinations and talk about?

The OP's question was about angled hinging...so at least in terms of a "True" Hitter, HK talks about certain orthodox combos* which produce push slices and pull hooks with a consequent adjustment of the target line to achieve the direction desired.

*specifically he says opening the grip at impact fix produces the push slice and closing the grip produces the pull hook. The ball position information is confusing to me in the way he says it (before the other variables are discussed), but he says for the "True" Hitter just moving the ball forward or back with a clubface square to the target line produces a shot which is initially straight.

Obviously, the foundation of our fearless leader is built upon yellow book teachings along with thousands of hours of hands on lessons, classes, seminars, designations, etc...

What I see right with these forums is how refreshing the degree of acceptance of the generous posts answered with either laymen and/or yellow book passages. Whether it's Tom, Brian (Brian to a much lesser extent, if not at all), and the numerous other very talented contributors who reference Homer, I welcome it with something new to learn and experience. Each return dip into the book, more clarity is given to the teachings of Homer and the fundamentals of what I feel is the correct right way to develop a sound swing. The expert contributors do a great job to interpret his readings if something seems foggy, and there is a bunch of fog in the book. Whether Homer is wrong or right, and mostly right, it certainly stimulates thought, to help me better understand my journey to a better golf.

The choice seems elementary. Either accept the readings of the those who cite the book or choose not to. No big ether way if the end result of what one is trying to accomplish is moving in the right direction.

Oh yes, it looks like the 7th edition is here...:)
