With only my own observation (and no statistical data) to back it up, I would say 'true'.

Why?

Because, that's the way most of us -- including tour players -- have been taught.

By their instructors (who were similarly taught) . . .

And, also, the mainstream book and magazine press.

Hitters are usually a dogged lot, simply going their own 'odd' way in spite of those who would have them do otherwise. And leaving, I might add, quite a number of swingers in their scoring wake.

Yoda,I really love that last paragraph...the main comment I get when playing with Hitters Pattern...."gee ,you hit that so effortlessly"..they obviously dont "FEEL" my R/forearm thrusting down from my right shoulder........of course I play along with them a bit....they start to swing with the seemingly"slow" tempo as I do........WHY doesnt my ball go as far as yours..I lol and say POWER.......just had to tell ya....cheers Bm
