Single Wrist Action/ Angled Hinge

[golfbulldog]

I think quite a few swingers use 10-18-F "Special" - single wrist action backstroke and a standard wrist action downstroke.

The standard wrist action downstroke fits well with swinging and sequenced release.

Not many swingers turn the left hand to plane as early as Hogan or Sergio appear too - so I guess that is more in the single wrist action backstroke style. The appearance of the sole of the club being parallel to the spine about 1/3 of the way into backswing is what I am thinking of here... I think that you see that being taught sometimes and that seems closer to single wrist action on the backswing.

ANyone agree ?

Golfbulldog,

I agree with you here. Many years ago before I knew of TGM, I believe I probably used Special Wrist Action. Why I feel that way is because I would always break the original Medicus hinge club in the takeaway because my clubface was looking at the ball.

In the past few years as I've learned more TGM, I've used a Standard Wrist Action (start up swivel) takeaway as it seems to blend better with the sequenced release of the downswing. As a result I can now use the Medicus Hinge club without having it break.

I did not know in the past that the Hinge club was designed for a Swinging Stroke pattern with a Standard Wrist Action.
