Mr. 12 Piece... I suppose grip could be a factor here.

Not sure why Mr. Doyle wants the FACE pointing to the ground like this, but from talking with people that have been around him... this is what he wants.

First, whatever your views on the degree of swivel, there should be little argument for how important, and how lacking, rotation is for most players.

It is the single greatest bit of info I learned from reading Hogan's 5 Lessons.

Rotation point.

That said - I'm right there with Lynn - He learned the difference between hinge and swivel from Homer at 34. I learned it from Lynn a bit over a year ago at OCN (at about the same age).

The clearest way to 'feel' the difference is to get a true horizontal hinge action, which 'feels' very level. This combined with the straight line motion of the right arm (hitting or swinging, active or passive).

As for perverted or not, I would suggest the root issue is the clubface rotation around the sweet spot, not the hosel.

If #3 Accum is zero'd out, you wouldn't see this 'perversion' - but if you have a fair bit of #3, you will.

Grip type is certainly a factor as well.
