As far as the mass of the club... remember the Featherlights?
I would think 1-D, Structure lends itself to part of the answer.

Hitters do have a shorter swing length so mass would probably aid them while a swinger can have a longer swing length and move quickly up to a point, the point being the mass is too much for them control or sustain any amount of acceleration/speed.

Also 6-F-1, Timing adds to the definition of which may be better for a hitter or swinger.

It does come down to the individual's traits, I believe what you will find in TGM in regard to this topic is merely a guideline, in otherwords one hitter may have more success with less mass while a swinger may in fact have more mass and be successful. But the norm or a starting point would suggest a Hitter is more likely to be successful with more mass than a swinger.
