That's really interesting. I'm not kidding. A month ago, I was convinced that Hitting was a superior procedure over Swinging from short range and I still believe that, but with reservation.
Hitting and Swinging are very different and it does take time to switch to Hitting after my tee shot on short par 4s and I'm not completely comfortable with doing so. I'm beginning to think, because of my recent experiments, that Swinging with Single Wrist Action may be a better choice from inside 100 yards. My reasoning is that it only requires 2 component adjustments rather than an entire Procedure and it brings all of the benefits of Hitting (Angled Hinge, FLW/BRW from Startup, No Swivel, etc.). Fewer moving parts.
Though, there is no doubt in my mind that Hitting chip shots is still Superior to Swinging chip shots. But because it's normally a non-Pivot stroke, I don't have a problem easily adjusting to it just like my Putting Hitting Procedure was easy to adjust to.
D,
Very interesting.... I'd like to hear more about how you use 10-18-C with your swinging motion. Is it the "-2" procedure? What are the 2 component adjustments you make..... elimination of the swivel and face orientation at impact fix to account for AH layback?
I've tried angled hinging with swinging, but find that the "tension" I need to apply to ensure AH and not the HH of the swinger can over-ride and/or interfere with CF.
I'm really trying to get my 130 and in game where it needs to be to get to another level. I thought I might do it by perfecting a hitting action, but I don't think I have the time to be able to master hitting to where I can effectively move from swinging outside of 130 or so to hitting full short irons.
