But that is for another day. there is just so much in that video.

That video is pure gold. Just run it in slo-mo over and over like Sybervision. Then let the questions flow.
You're right, Charlie. Clearly, Ted is Hitting and I am Swinging http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/gallery...loadfile&i=122. In fact, the respective Strokes could be used as models for both Patterns. For comparative purposes, note the following 'Hitting versus Swinging' Component Variations:

-- Impact Address (10-9-B) vs. Classic Address (10-9-A)

-- Top Assembly Point (10-21-A) vs. End Assembly Point (10-21-C)

-- Fixed Lag Pressure Point vs. Rotated Lag Pressure Point (both explained in 10-11-0-3)

-- Drive Loading (of the Right Triceps / 10-19-A) vs. Drag Loading (of the Left Wrist / 10-19-C)

-- Power Accumulator #1 (Right Arm Drive-Out off backstop Right Shoulder / 6-B-1-A) vs. Power Accumulator #4 (Left Arm Throwout by driving Right Shoulder Turn Thrust / 6-B-4-A)

-- Right Arm Throw (10-19-B) vs. Left Wrist Throw (10-20-E)

-- Simultaneous Release vs. Sequenced Release (both explained in 4-D-0)

-- Angled Hinging (10-10-C) vs. Horizontal Hinging (10-10-D)

Especially telling is the differentiating use of the #1 versus the #4 Power Accumulators. We were both 'maxing out' in Release -- he of his Right Triceps Thrust and me of my Right Shoulder Turn Thrust (Body Momentum Transfer).

Students who use this video as a case study will go a long way toward advancing their understanding of Hitting and Swinging.
