As Yoda has mentioned, you don't need to have impact fix when hitting. Yoda doesn't do it...I don't either. Impact or mid-body with the hitting procedure is preferential. I only ue impact fix when I want to keep the ball low. One of the things I love about impact fix is that you can clearly see the right forearm flying wedge and just maintain that wedge throughout the swing.
But again, impact or mid-body hands are preferential. I prefer mid-body because I can more easily use the right forearm takeaway with that.
As far as the pull, that's probably my most common leave. I do come down on the Turned Shoulder Plane which is common for hitters IIRC and since that is a bit steeper of a plane, the leave is likely to the left. You may be doing the same thing.
As far as hitting vs. swinging goes, in my experience most teachers...even TGM AI's avoid teaching hitting. I hear a lot of 'only 10% of golfer are meant for hitting' and stuff like that. I certainly do not buy that or have yet to see evidence that can convince me that's true. Especially since hitting is known best for golfers with a lack of flexibility and it's not like I am seeing a bunch of yoga instructors when I go out to the range. So if an instructor is against hitting, get used to it.
