In the video footage of Boo's swing from the link in post #1 of this thread, Boo is clearly Sequencing his release. He uses a lot of #3 accumulator which streches out his Horizontal Hinge. Because his #3 accumulator roll is 3 feet long, the Horizontal hinge may be difficult to observe. In addition to watching his Sequenced Release, please notice that at impact to impact separation that there is no apparent Clubface Layback.
D . . . did you watch the video to the very end??? When the zoom in on the club . .. it is CLEARLY laying back and NOT pointing along the plane line . . . according to Homer's definition we are seing ANGLED HINGING . . .
Per 2-G . . .
With Horizontal Hinging, the toe of the Club will point along the Plane Line. With Angled Hinging, about 45 degrees across the Plane Line. With Vertical Hinging, about 90 degrees across the Plane Line with the Clubface looking Squarely at the sky
That grip is turned . . . you are again seeing the clubface being thrown at the ball by definition . . . and angled hinging.

Looking at the Clubface is only a clue. A clue may lead you to the answer, but a clue is not the answer.
Do you see how Boo has his hands seemingly go to the left after he Strikes the ball? Hogan had the same idiosyncrasy. VJ Trolio has observed and talked about this same unusual move, and on page 16 he attributes it to center of gravity and individual players finding their own arm path. He said that Hogan Swings "hard Left". Unfortunately, the complete answer is not a simple one.
In my earlier post I explained that Boo Uncocks his Left Wrist on a line Parallel to the Plane line but 6 inches closer to his feet. It is an alternate Delivery Line. His hands as Hogans Hands are already Left because of this alternate delivery line. Please review the video and carefully observe Boo's left hand motion between Release and Impact. His Left hand Rolls left in the same manor one would water his lawn with a garden hose. This is not the Swivel that Homer Kelley explains in TGM. With Hogans and Boo's style of Rolling, they must Keep the Hands following this Inside Parallel Delivery Line Path. That is why Hogan wanted 3 right hands. It's because his hand IS actually slapping the ball.
This is one reason why their Style of Horizontal Hinge is difficult to detect. You must observe the Sequenced Release. The Roll is a long and drawn out process because of so much #3 Accumulator. Look at the video and see the end of the Clubshaft protruding from Boo's left hand. The entire heal pad of his left hand is on top of the grip, just like Hogan. Huge #3 Accumulator.
Remember in "Five Lessons" the pictures of Hogans Left Hand Rolling into Impact? (That's not exactly what he did, but anyway) Do you Remember how his wrist was "Supinated" (his word, not mine)? If you Uncock and Roll on the same Delivery Line as HK Recommends, then that IS how your Wrist will look with that much #3 Accumulator and your hands will be 6 inches ahead of the ball at impact. But he didn't do it that way in reality when he used an alternate delivery line. And he almost always used an alternate delivery line.
HK said:
"It is mandatory that there is no break or bend in the Delivery Line direction during either half of the Release Motion. Both halves, as well as, the Release and Finish Roll (2-G), must be executed on the same Delivery Line (2-J-3) – On Line or Cross Line, but not both."
VJ admits that very few Golfers he has observed demonstrate this peculiarity, especially today.
I don't know what else to say to you about this matter.
