1st 2 questions:Yes and yes. It's a big deal that the pressure for the swinger is loaded on the top of the shaft and the pressure for the hitter is loaded on the back of the shaft. In swinging the feel of the #3 pressure point is so different than what I feel in hitting. It gets to the same place at impact, but it rotates from top to aft very quickly. I have the feeling of the aft side support all the way from the top. That's why I find it so outrageous when people claim to jump back and forth between hitting and swinging when playing a round of golf. In other words, what they're claiming is that they have the ability to change ten components from swing to swing with no mulligan. And I thought that I had a lot of thinking to do.
The #3 pressure point for me feels like a constant and deliberate rotation from the top. As it slowly turned to the top, it also slowly rolls in the downstroke. The swivel strictly involves the forearm, where the hinge action is the total arm (my words). As far as the swivel, I do have a finish swivel that has it's distinct feel AFTER impact. Holding on for dear life is not the feel of angled hinging, although it's the way I was previously taught. It's the bridge to the finish for hitting and swinging.
Are you presently swinging or hitting?
On the fence . . .
I strictly hit after my swamp session. And then went back to Swinging because my elbow wants to work to Pitch (Annikan says I have "sick" Pitch, not quite "perverted" pitch) naturally. But the ball is going everywhere right now. So I'm trying to figure out what pattern is going to work best for me. My grip is also pretty Turned (10-2-D style).
So I guess I need to "un-Pitch" a bit and also increase my Axis Tilt. I tend to lean into it with my upper body.
