Putting (Pelz/PILS), chipping, cuts? Due to its Power limitations, Vertical Hinging is best used only in the Short Shots. Homer Kelley was no fan of Vertical Hinging. He thought it was important to learn in order to be able to differentiate the three Hinge Actions, but on the Golf Course, he strongly preferred Angled Hinging. The reason was that, on the steep Plane of the shorter Shots, Angled Hinging approaches the Layback Only characteristic of Vertical Hinging. However, it does so without the deliberate mechanical manipulation -- the 'Reverse Roll' Feel -- that is always required for Vertical Hinging. __________________ Yoda Yoda View Public Profile Send a private message to Yoda Visit Yoda's homepage!
