Differentiating...

It is possible for you to Drag Load at Startdown and still Push the Club through Impact, so you will ultimately be classified as a Hitter. Or you can Drive Load but Pull the Club with Left Arm Centrifugal Power, hence you're a Swinger. I believe the former is actually quite common on Tour.

Any comments?
I don't believe hitting and swinging can be differentiated solely on a single element.

Per 1-F "This, alone, does not properly separate "Hitters" and "Swingers" because it is possible to "Swing" the Club with either Arm but only the Right Arm can actually "Hit" "

Per 10-19-0 "Hinge Action does NOT differentiate Hitting and Swinging."


What properly differentiates Hitting and Swinging are in 6-H-0. Factors rather than a single factor properly separates them.

6-H-0-E "Associate the following with "Hitting""
6-H-0-F "Associate the following with "Swinging""
