Bucket summed it up perfectly. If you're pulling the club -- doesn't matter which arm you feel you're pulling with -- then you're swinging. If you're pushing the club, then you're hitting.

Here's what the book has to say about the role of the right arm.

Without posting video of your swing, it'll be hard to get answers to a lot of your questions. My other post actually had a point, in that it doesn't matter all that much if you're a hitter or a swinger yet. You can get pretty far just working on the 3 imperatives

- flat left wrist
- lag pressure point
- straight plane line

You mentioned you cock both wrists; I would recommend searching for "flying wedges" and doing a little research there for starters.

This stuff is all a lot easier with face-to-face help from a TGM pro like Lynn or Ted.
