Hinging and the right wrist?
Is it possible to do a "vertical hinge" (toe to teh sky) correctly during the follow-through while maintaining a "bent right wrist"?

Another thing,

I was hitting balls today at lunch. I had a bucket off of my left foot to reinforce an on-plane release and follow-through. When I was not hitting the bucket, and not chunking the ball , or shanking , my ball flight started at the target with about a 10 foot draw. (56* wedge) Is this what I should expect? My setup is slightly open stance line, square target line, square plane line, with a square blade at address.

I think vertical hinging has the clubface pointing to the sky at finish rather than the toe (perpendicular line to the clubface would pirce the sky at zenith). This makes vertical hinging somewhat limited for full shots, but wonderful for delicate chips, flops, and bunker busting.
