Why Hitting?

[12 piece bucket]

I think I heard/read that Mr. K preferred Hitting to Swinging. Something like harder to learn but easier to execute.

Why is Hitting better from a Golfing Machine perspective and a human machine perspective?

For me it means less moving parts to have to worry about and a bit more control.

Technically speaking I believe 90 degrees is a horizontal hinges. Where as anything from 1 to 89 degress can be considered an angle hinge with the ideal being a 45 degree angle.

Easier to create a more predictable ball flight.

I'm not TGM certified so don't take this as the holy grail.

I think we all wanted to chow down with some chicken (pig ribs for me- LOL) with you 12 piece. It would have been a highlight to the weekend. Next time for sure.

Good lord! If I'm the highlight of the weekend . . . you guys gotta get out more! I would have loved to have been there. From the videos you have put up . . . looks like a missed some humdingers!

Next time . . . we shall consume dead chicken carcasses soaked in buttermilk dusted with flour and fried in lard.

Until then fare well my Koolaid drinking compadre.

It was his preference for his own pattern. Let's be clear that it wasn't something that he preferred for everyone to do. I would guess it was the hinge action that he preferred.

His quotes were, "Hitting is just so darn accurate." And, "Swinging is like shooting ducks in a pond."

Oh. I didn't know he was referencing HIS pattern. Clears that up. Sorry about that. I was thinking it was the preferred pattern, period.

Cool.

Did HK say something to the effect that he wished he had more body mass? When hitting he felt the downward blow lifted him off the ground??
