So I guess what I am saying I don't track with your logic regarding Horizontal Hinging. In fact what would you say in regards to Vertical Hinging?

And I am a bit concerned that it appears that Hinging is the Key to Sustaining the Line of Compression, I thought there were some other elements that were of equal if not more importance.

Martee...

Angled hinging has an uncentered linear motion. Tong is simply saying that in horizontal hinging, the clubhead and clubface are rotating around the same center - and therefore, the arc is uniform...as opposed to angled hinging.

Well I read Tong's write up to specifically state HORZ hinging and sustaining the lag...

This can only be achieved by using Horizontal Hinging.

Hitters using Angled Hinging does not have the Clubface and Clubshaft rotating around the same center (in fact the Clubface has no center), and hence cannot maintain the same Compression Point through Impact. So you better find a good way to compensate for this inferiorty if you're a Hitter!

I think this is wrong in so much as saying
1. cannot maintain the same Compression Point through Impact

2. compensate for this inferiorty if you're a Hitter

What I am reading based on this write up is that Hinging is the key to sustaining the lag. In fact it Hitters using Angled Hinging are using an inferior component application and yet in 12-1 that is what Kelley recommends.

If this is true, then what is the compensation a hitter must adopt in 12-1 to overcome this inferrior component application?

And then we have vertical which has a centered motion and yet of the three hinging application this is probably the least likely one that sustaining the lag is a priority with based on it application in the golf stroke to produce shots.
