Does he use a horizontal or angled hinging procedure? In this video he appears a little shut.
I thought he might be more of hitter because of the bent left arm at impact, versus straight left arm when swinging.
Another question for you, does the bent left wrist post impact pose a problem w/ consistency? I thought as long as it was flat at impact, that you would be ok.....maybe not, Im just starting the learning process

Hard for me to tell from this video, as I can't get the video to stop after impact to get any clues. I think there is a tendency to angle hinge if you don't employ a startup swivel (leave the face looking at the ball on the takeaway), which would give it that shut look on the way back.

post impact positions have a nasty habit of becomingpre - impact positions. The FLAT LEFT WRIST is the #1 Imperative for a good reason. There are players whose athletic ability will be able to compensate for a BENT LEFT WRIST. The question is can they do every time and to the same degree every time? Odds are they cannot.
Do you know if hitters always use an angled hinge at start up and follow through? Azinger, at least when he was coached by Redman, used angled hinge on BS, DS, and FT but I always thought he was a left side pull swinger.
Sligo,
I see your point. Not training for a FLW post impact could easily lead to flipping at impact if you dont watch it...

A couple things:
Hinge action doesn't occur at startup. It's what the club does just after impact. If I had the book in front of me, I'd get you the reference (I'll add it later). The takeaway does tend to setup your motion for the desired hinge action, however.
Per 10-19-0, "Hinge Action does NOT differentiate Hitting and Swinging", so I wouldn't say a hitter always uses angled hinging, but it is the natural tendency when hitting, just like horizontal hinging is the natural tendency when swinging.
