Is it adviseable to try to play a fade with a horizontal hinge, or should I attempt to be a manipulated hands swinger with an angled hinge? Is there anything in particular I should be careful of? I know how to hit a fade, but I really would like to eliminate the left side of the course, without having to worry too much about a double cross.
I say just use Angled Hinging for your fades. There's about nothing wrong with being a 'manipulated hands swinger'. The word 'manipulated' makes people think that it's somehow a bad thing, but it isn't. You just have to make sure you work hard enough to override the horizontal hinging tendency of your Swinging procedure.
Traveling without the book and/or not having multiply copies is a sin, Will.
7-2 deals with Grip Types.
First sentence: “Each Grip Type employs s different Hand-to-Basic Plane relationship (2-G)....”
True Swingers and Hitters differ.
To change ball flight:
Hitters would change grip and keep Plane Line at address and True swingers would keep the same grip and change Plane Line at address.
Hand manipulated swingers should address the ball is a Hitter would to change ball flight.
First sentence, last paragraph: “For the ‘True’ Swinger, “Opening’ the Plane Line (10-5-D) until it is square to the Clubface alignment at the new “Aft” location, will produce a ‘Fade.’
God I love this stuff !
Much to read in 7-2, including 7-2-1/2/3/4. Keep home to the book.
why would it be trouble, that was hogans bread and butter he just weakened his grip so his left thumb was pointing straight down the shaft that made it so it always approached the ball a little open. but if you have a strong grip with horizontal hinging thats a different story then you would just have to open the face at address enough so it would never fully square up at impact

I know, I know... .
It seems like hitting a fade using horizontal hinging is asking for trouble. Is it?
BTW, thanks, Mike
Not trouble, Will- knowledge ! Every time a machiner moves the ball location, grip, plane lines, hinge action, etc- they own another mechanism in their stroke. And that’s a good thing for TGM-ers.
