Your doing a lot better than I am, I have trouble comprehending hinge action. I have read and read and still do not understand hinge action, I am about ready to give up.

Well, I am still confused about left forearm roll not being a horizontal hinging when being Accumulator #3.?
But otherwise I think the clue is that the clubface does what the level left wrist does. If it is straight to the inclined plane it is just like a door closing in a hitter's action with the angled hinging motion.
In a vertical hinging the left forearm takes the wrist in a more palm down rotation (to the right) and thereby making the clubface horizontal( lying flat like a table to put a glas on) for the higher, softer shots.
In a horizontal hinge motion with a more palm up move there is a extra quarter role on both the left forearm/wrist and the clubface compared with the angled hinging so the clubface will point toe straight up (like a flag pole) at the end of the followthru, when more length/roll is needed in the shot at hand.
So the angled hinging is neutral/square to the inclined plane.
Horisontal adds a quarter roll to the left in the wrist, vertical hinging makes a similar quarter role to the right.
If nobody protests I hope this is correct. If the corrections come - we'll both have to study it carefully.
(Actually I'm missing something too - I tend to think the opposite of the terms regarding what is horizontal and vertical (when looking at the clubface, but I just have to learn what the motions are and forget that the terms are confusing, so I think I know what the hinging looks like and just get used to the labels used for these motions).(Maybe it helps to think where the sweetspot of the clubface is pointing? Is a nail hammered straight into the sweetspot pointing vertical or horizontal from the sweetspot in the followthru - that's probably correct? Angled is in between the two other hinging motions - about 45 degrees(?))

Those should sort you out Jerry

Not to make I big deal out of it and I'm not going to do this each month any more, but since I did this last month I'll do it again this last time because a lot has happened this month.
I have come far this month - all the way to Cuscowilla and back again. I feel fortunate and a little proud of my self who has dared to take such a big step.
But where do I go from here? It seems like an anticlimax. It's long time to wait till spring. I'm not very motivated to read TGM either. I had a dream and I've been on the mountain top and have seen the light and it's only downwards from here. Been there. Done that.
Well, these are my lousy thoughts at the 3 month annversity - kind of depressing, I guess. A month ago I knew where I was going. Now what? I guess you could call this a combination of a winter/darktime / post Cuscowilla depression. Who knows?

Now I think I am beginning to look forward again and not just back at the top of the mountain way up there. But there still is some work to do to be my old self again ...

Welcome back, Air! I understand your post-partem depression. I often have it myself after major events, including the departure of students who have been with me for a day or more. The work is intense and the bond always strong.
But fear not! Help is as near as the notes and memories you made at Cuscowilla, my Alignment Golf DVDs, your yellow book, a full-length mirror and a phone.
You've got your program. Begin with the basics you learned during our time together. Augment that with the information and visuals contained in the DVDs. Then, over the long Norwegian winter, work your way item by item through the Mechanical Checklist of All Strokes (12-3).
Use the mirror and compare your alignments in each of the Twelve Sections (Chapter Eight) against those illustrated in each of the Three Zones (Chapter Nine).
Finally, download Skype and call me -- lynn.blake7 -- anytime.
When the snow melts in the spring, you'll be ready. The lads will never know what hit'em!
