Are you a left handed player? With a straight plane line no matter what hinge action you choose the ball will start straight. Hinge Action can have an affect on the ball's trajectory, spin, and curve. Horizontal Hinge Action basic motions tend toward draws (lower ball flight less spin) Vertical Hinge Action basic motions tend toward cuts (higher ball flight more spin) An Angled Hinge can be any Hinge between Horizontal and Vertical, but the idea is to have clubface and leading edge at a perfect angle or split between Horizontal and Vertical. If your angled hinge fall's closer to vertical than you will see little difference in the ball flights. You may want to spend more time practicing horizontal and making your Angled Hinge "feel" a little closer to horizontal so you see more of a difference in ball flight between the three hinge motions. Make sure you master the motions in basic then go to acquired. Sorting Through the Golf Nut's Catalog. B-Ray __________________ I have the best job in the world, I get to teach golf for a living!!!
