but after 7 years, like a bolt of electricity, I finally understand hinge action. For years, I've been confusing hinge action with swiveling. I've struggled with my natural hitters motion, because I have unknowingly continued to confuse horizontal and angled hinging.
For the first time in my life, I was actually able to control my ball flight through hinge action.
Now the next step is gaining a better understanding of wrist/hand actions /swivel work with different hinge actions.
