The context of the video was explaining the Power Accumulator #3, not horizontal hinging. Common mistake in getting them confused. #3 PA is a tough one to describe, but there are many threads here where it is very well done. I'm on my way out the door or I would do the search for you...

Ted is a 4 Barrel Hitter (utilizing all 4 power accumulators), as is one of YODA's patterns that I enjoy studying as my personal model. Done correctly, utilizing the pivot as YODA and TED both explain can be very powerful. In it's simplest form, hitting may be done using only 1 power source, i.e. the right elbow, making it very precise for the short game as well. I marvel at the speed Ted generates with the dowel when showing all 4 power accumulators used together in his video.

There are so many options within the machine! ...

Complicated.

I thought there were only 3 hinge motions and therefore 3 ways to move the forearms. But can the rolling of the forearms happen in other ways too (as the 4th source of getting greater clubhead speed as shown in Ted Fort's video)? How does the left forearm roll (as shown in the video) without a horisontal hinging? (Does a hitter even have horisontal hinging?)
