To almost all hitters out there I am going to say I do not believe that you are really hitting at all.
One the simple premise that once you use Standard wrist action you are swinging, which would mean that if you took the club back it would be very difficult to ever reach top, forget about end
So when we look at tour players as our models who actually uses single wrist action?
Just because we have strong right forearm participation does not mean we are hitting. We still use Centrifugal force which makes it SWINGING
I think far more of us are swingers that have alot of right forearm in there. The Right Forearm is the magic of TGM and if you are reading this forum you use it.
In order to be a hitter you have to be able to essentially overpower CF, and stress the shaft. Far more of us swing then we would like to admit
Golf is a game of more than full swings. I think hitting exists big time in the short game, if desired, and that "feel" can carry over to the full swing. It's not all about science and long drive contests, we have to play the game...
Using 3D models with sensors hooked up to measure everything, maybe not??? I don't teach or play that way, and can't imagine I will ever be able to afford to. Homer Kelley's system is extremely relevant for me and my students...

I agree Kevin.
Funny, my HP (Higher Power) is all knowing. He loves me and really likes it when I use my right arm and try to Hit. I wonder why someone would presume to tell lots of people what they are "really doing?"
He might be a Mets fan, who knows? If he were an Atlanta or Twins fan, I could respect that. Those are quality teams.

Strange, isn't it?
"It works for me, and makes golf more fun."
"Nope, you're wrong, and I have proven it doesn't work for you, and isn't fun, with science."

I must've been hungry last summer, Kevin, but that basket of fried chicken and fries really hit the spot!
However, according to science I probably did not enjoy it, really!
The pink lemonade, however, was the bomb.

There is absolutely NO SCIENCE, according to anybody, that can tell you fried chicken isn't THE BOMB!

I will always be thankful to Toronto for Doc Halladay and I am hoping Daryl, where is that boy, is a White Sox fan. I have given up on the Cubbies!

I've given up on both teams. But I haven't given up my knowlege of "Hitting" as a completely viable Stroke Pattern. In fact, it's probabley better suited to playing Golf than Swinging.
