I think the same lightbulb just went off in my head, powerdraw. If I'm understand correctly the hands feel "quiet" in executing the 3 hinge actions properly; they just hang on.
HH is automatic in an uninhibited swing but AH and VH do require manual intervention on our behalf.
First of all, we all have to look at these changes in terms of how they are CORRECT first, and exhaust all of the possibilities before assuming that because something is unfamiliar or new it must be incorrect. This system is such a precious intellectual commodity, we owe it to ourselves to have these discussions for the greater good. I appreciate the candor of this type of discussion, we all gain from civilized debate. For my piece, I wasn't terribly troubled by this change simply because the Hinge is mounted at the shoulder. Thanks again to all for the efforts you all make to absorb and apply.

Horizontal Hinging is indeed the automatic result of the Swinger's Centrifugal Force Throw-Out Action. Thus, Angled Hinging requires the Swinger's "manual intervention."
Similarly, Angled Hinging is the automatic result of the Hitter's Muscular Thrust Drive-Out Action. And Horizontal Hinging requires the Hitter's manual intervention.
Vertical Hinging -- the Clubface staying Square to the Line in Layback-only mode -- is the natural byproduct of neither Swinging nor Hitting. As such, it is always a deliberate, mechanical manipulation.
This thread is getting a bit off topic, and my reply above didn't help matters. Questions unrelated to Book Errors should be asked and answered, but in other Forums. Let's stay on track.
