Vertical hinging is always a deliberate manipulation. I've tried both angled hinge and vertical hinge putting out on the course, and angled hinging wins hands down. With vertical hinging, it seemed like too much 'messing around' when you should just be focused on making your normal stroke.

So with angled hinging and it's 'no roll' feel, you can just swing back and through and not worry about your hinge action. Just hold the left wrist vertical to your plane...back and through, back and through. No need for the 'reverse roll' feel that vertical hinging requires.

Anyhow, you asked about hinging given different putters. For me, I'd rather stick with angled hinging for every putter because it's easier to repeatably execute.
