Can some one describe the relationship of the right and left arm flying wedges to hinging? Is hinging another way to describe the movement of the arms from impact to end point (both arms straight)?

I think that it's an excellent question.
The Left Arm Wedge is going to be
Hinged through the Impact Interval.
The
Hinge will be located at the
Left Shoulder.
The
Alignment of the
Paddlewheel Motion of the
Right Forearm Wedge will
determine the Alignment of the Hinge (i.e. Angled, Horizontal).
If the Right Forearm/Hand
Paddlewheels about an axis that's perpendicular to the Horizontal Plane, then the Hinge Pin will be Perpendicular to the Horizontal Plane.
Horizontal Hinging.
If the Right Forearm/Hand
Paddlewheels about an axis that's perpendicular to the Angled Plane, then the Hinge Pin will be Perpendicular to the Angled Plane.
Angled Hinging.

You have TWO CHOICES:
Hinge Through Impact or
Swivel Through Impact.
If you
Force the
Left Wrist to Roll Through the Impact Interval, by Rolling it with the Left Arm or Wrist or Forearm Muscles, then
the Right Hand will also Roll. That is
Swiveling.
Both Hands are rotating Counterclockwise.
You are Rolling the Center of Gravity of the Clubhead and Clubface Alignment will be erratic. The Clubface will Close and Hood.
When you
use the Paddlewheel Action of the Right Forearm and Hand to
Roll the
Left Wrist Through the Impact Interval, you are
Hinging.
The Left Hand Rotates Counterclockwise but the Right Hand does not. You are Rotating the Clubface in Alignment of the Hinge. The Clubface will Close Only.
One last point if I may:
When Pressure is applied to the #3 Pressure Point, then the Right Forearm will perform the Rotational Requirements of the pre-selected Hinge Action. Without #3 Pressure Point Pressure, the Right Forearm Flying Wedge cannot exert its influence on the Left Arm Wedge. But, although the Rotational Motion may exist and the Left Arm will be influenced by that motion, it won't have the "Hard Snap Roll" of Horizontal Hinging through and after impact. Its a softer sort of Roll and it will be influenced by Impact Deceleration.
