For power Id agree ... but what about the old hands only putting style? What about that in concert with Vertical Hinging , intentional Steering. That would be one fine method to putt with........Billy Casper could roll that thing.

Swinging from the wrists is an effective way of shortening the radius... sort of like the grand daddy of gripping down. Its physics again as employed by the thinking mans golfer, or by those fortunate enough to just stumble upon it, like Seve did. He'd grip down to the metal and swing from the wrists for a short trap shot, cross line with a wide open club face and Vertcal Hinging.

You could manipulate any Hinge Action while swinging from the wrists, no?

TGM short shots are not a to be confused with Basic and Acquired which are stepping stones or a curriculum to an effective Total Motion. Compressed short shots leading to compressed long shots. Beautiful stuff. There are times when they are useful short shot methods yes, often. But ideally you have other options when intentional compression leakage is a better way to go.

Homer had nothing against intentional steering for short shots.

Hinging is much easier and vastly more reliable than Swiveling. I think people misunderstand the Hinge because they don't align the Wedges at 90 degrees.
