Isn't a manipulated hands swinger just a swinger who is using something other than horizontal hinging? I don't think that necessarily means they have to be a right arm swinger. Can't a right arm swinger still use horizontal hinging?

Manipulated swinging has no bearing on hinge action. A manipulated swinger is manipulating his left hand to get into an impact fix location (or e whatever location he/she chooses) at impact versus a true swinger, whom lets centrifugal force line the left hand at impact - which makes ball location so critical for true swinging. The key is a manipulated swinger is not solely using centrifugal force to line up the hands - there is some manipulation involved to get to their intended hand position, whereas the true swinger relies on centrifugal force only.

Yes, a right arm swinger can use horizontal, vertical or angled hinging.

Hope this makes sense.
