When i spoke of "hinging" i was talking about the setting of the left wrist in the backswing. How would this change for a hitter? Would starting out in a forward press not simplify the process of completeing a successful backswing. I read in a different post last night that hitters are not advised to start in a nuetral hand position at setup. This did seem to help to consistancy of strike.

Hitters can start their back swing from an "Impact Fix" position, where the required orientation of the wrists can be seen, set and held from that point right through impact.
Swingers use the "Impact Fix" procedure to ascertain the amount of right wrist bend needed for the shot in question before moving to adjusted address prior to commencement of their back swing.
The swingers visualised and memorised wrist orientations are then implemented, at the players chosen point in his back swing, and held through impact.

If you stick around here for a while, left hand wrist cock will cease to be something you do actively. It will become something that just happens. In regard to Hitters, they dont cock their left wrist to any great benefit but they do cock their right elbow.

Hinging, hinge action, has a different meaning in TGM than what you describe (left wrist cock).
In TGM, hinge action describes how the left wrist relates to the plane from impact to separation (when the ball leaves the face after being compressed against it).
In a nutshell, the left wrist stays vertical (perpendicular) to one of three planes - horizontal (a swinging door), angled (a pitched roof), or vertical (a wall).
If you are a hitter, the most compatible hinge action is angled - the left wrist stays vertical to the plane (pitched roof) - and this will result in a fade unless otherwise compensated.
Starting from impact fix allows the hitter to set the impact alignments and 'carry them back' as a unit, to the top. A fairly simple action straight up and down the plane with a 'no roll' feel in the hands until after both arms straight when the left wrist swivels back up plane.
