Horizontal hinge motion is more efficient, so given similar parameters leading up to impact, when the ball leaves the face horizontal hinge motion will impart more force to the ball than a vertical hinge. There is a 'leak' of power inherent in a vertical hinge. __________________ "Support the On Plane Swinging Force in Balance" "we have no friends, we have no enemies, we have only teachers" Simplicity buffs, see 5-0, 1-L, 2-0 A and B 10-2-B, 4-D, 6B-1D, 6-B-3-0-1, 6-C-1, 6-E-2 EdZ View Public Profile Send a private message to EdZ Find all posts by EdZ
