The shorter Backstroke does serve as an initial 'flag' when attempting to differentiate Hitters from Swingers. This is particularly true when the Hands at the Top of either the
Straight Line or
Angled Line Delivery Path (10-23-A/B) are accompanied by a 'high' Clubshaft, i.e., a Clubshaft that remains well above the 'parallel to the ground' position. However, even this additional
Loading Action clue offers no fail-safe guarantee.
The bottom line is that both Hitters and Swingers can use the
Top of the Line Delivery Path -- Hands Right Shoulder high and On Plane -- as the
Top of the Stroke. We therefore must consider other elements before making a final determination.
