If you study Moe Norman's swing then you will more clearly understand the difference between hinging and a swivel action. MN often finishes his swing with both arms straight and with both arms pointing at the target - which means that he doesn't usually have a finish swivel action in his swing. However, he often does use horizontal hinging in his followthrough.
Here is an example of MN using horizontal hinging.
I agree with your assessment. Question: do you think it is advisable not to execute and finish swivel? The reason I ask is that regardless of hinge action, the finish swivel still bridges follow through and finish. Watch Yoda hit bunker shots with a vertical hinge...then a finish swivel. That was a bit of a test for me...executing a vertical hinge then swiveling.
good points, it is amazing how effectively you can hit the ball with the club below hands in follow through. I know with a swivel action, thirty yards are in there somewhere.

Wow. Speaking of hinging , we here ,would call that pendulum Moe displays "vertical hinging". I remember the days when people thought that "chasing the ball with a square club face" would produce straight shots like MOe or Byron Nelson.
When he actually swings he doesnt use vertical of course, nothing like his pendulum. More a nice, hold off, swinging left kind of shot during which he could have executed any hinge action he wanted. He didnt chose vertical for that crowd!
Im still amazed that Homer had this all figured out almost half a century ago. Moe's hands knew better than he did, I guess. Byron's too. I heard Mr Nelson recently during a replay of an old tournament he was doing colour commentary on, remarking about keeping the club face square for as long as possible to hit it straight. Dont get me wrong Im a big big fan of both of them. Two of golfs greatest.

Remember, by the time any player FEELS Impact, the Ball is already 15 yards down the fairway.

It is the feel ain't real deal! An angled hinge, or half roll of the club face has a NO Roll feel. so it feels as though the clubface is remaining square...but it ain't so!

Yes , yes, good point, Moe maybe felt like he kept the club square, a no roll feel , but was actually executing an angled hinge. Perhaps.
