I have a square or closed clubface all the way from the top, so at separation I hold my left wrist (too much) and not really "swivel", I feel that if I roll my left wrist it's going to close the clubface during Impact/separation... hello Pull/Hook!
Is it a mechanical thing or just mentally? Why am I not able to get this Horizonal Hinge especially with my driver,
where I need to fully uncock and roll the Left Wrist the most!
Look at my LEFT WRIST at Impact\separation and after, it almost reverse roll! ala Zack Johnson (almost vertical hinged)
I'm tired from this Angled hinge with the driver, it feels unnatural holding the left wrist.
It's almost feel like a flip...

You are executing your hinge action to the vertical wall instead of the horizontal floor. The wrist needs to be vertical, or perpendicular to the corresponding plane. A Horizontal Hinge (complete with roll and swivel ) is vertical- 90 degrees- to the ground. Your vertical hinge is vertical or perpendicular- 90 degrees to a vertical wall.
Trace a straight plane line and be ready to roll along it through impact. Swivel finished. Nice swing. Just practice a Horizontal Hinge.

Thank you for the reply,
I read the chapter on hinges on the yellow book but still I'm a little confused about what you said,
A Horizontal Hinge (complete with roll and swivel ) is vertical- 90 degrees- to the ground.
I'm trying to find the reason I'm not rolling my Left Wrist( horizontal hinge ) I leave my clubface almost open with my angled hinge and this is the Driver so no power there.
Thanks again

If you want to experiment, heres a few suggestions from the armchair.
It looks like you've got a pretty strong grip. Makes it a little more challenging to swivel and roll. Also why your clubface is facing the sky at the end of your swing with a flat left wrist.
Try taking your grip at impact fix before startup. See if it weakens a bit.
Then hit little 175 yard drives with a full roll follow-through and get use to the rhythm of horizontal hinging.
However - quick fixes over the internet don't hold a candle to a live, 3 dimensional lesson with one of our instructors. On the internet you may get a fix, but not the cure.

Ok, I understand thanks to Yoda, A Lesson with Yoda - Collin Neeman Chapter 4 - LBG Lesson - Total Motion
Made it clear what you mean A Horizontal Hinge (complete with roll and swivel ) is vertical- 90 degrees- to the ground.
Well almost because I'll have to practice.
I still have a feeling it's a clubface problem which is too "closed" at the top all the way so if I'll fix the clubface like Bagger Lance said ( thanks) with a weaker left grip, I'll have to roll my left wrist - Horizontal hinge.

Good deal. "Luck favors the Prepare Mind" according to Louis Pastore and that whole collection of Yoda and Neeman videos is a great way to Prepare your Mind and feed your Hands.
