Matt and Joe,

You have it backwards....a hitter using horizontal hinging would change his left wrist action to standard which is a natural move....the left wrist wants to turn naturally in the backswing...the manipulated move is resisting that natural turning action per 7-19-1 for single wrist action for the true hitter. Even with a punch basic stroke, horizontal hinging and standard wrist action the motion should be down and out per 1-L #13 and 14 with the right forearm for release....the wrists and arms should roll naturally with the rotation of the pivot.

I think you'll find a comment by Homer in the book that goes something like this.....don't make the game more complicated then it already is....
