With only my own observation (and no statistical data) to back it up, I would say 'true'.
Why?
Because, that's the way most of us -- including tour players -- have been taught.
By their instructors (who were similarly taught) . . .
And, also, the mainstream book and magazine press.
Hitters are usually a dogged lot, simply going their own 'odd' way in spite of those who would have them do otherwise. And leaving, I might add, quite a number of swingers in their scoring wake.
