Homer never put a limit on either stroke. For full swings/strokes it is best to stay with HH for Swinging and AH for Hitting. Short games shots with less then full strokes- any hinge can be used. I would stay away from vertical hinging outside a small flop/chip or putting stroke, Homer had little love for that hinge and preferred angled hinging to produce the same shot. Lynn teaches vertical in the classroom to extend your knowledge of hinge actions. I'm not saying vertical can't be played by some. Do as you feel is best. Trevino never used vertical to hit a stinger or fade. That goes against the action of the hinge. 6bmike View Public Profile Send a private message to 6bmike Find all posts by 6bmike
