I think you mean Vertical hinge.

Either way you can do what you say. The options are all open to you.

Yes, I have got them mixed up. I find vertical hinging difficult. Maybe angled hinge gets the job done to get the ball high enough with a SW/LW, although it will roll a little more?
By the way is it the bounce of the SW or the leading edge that hits the ground?
