I'm trying to reduce the swing to a fundamental simplicity that will allow me to get the ball in the hole with the fewest strokes.
"Support the on plane swinging force in balance"
support = lag pressure
The golf swing IS a swing (for swingers). That is a very important thing to understand.
the distiction in your misnomer is what the golfer should focus on to make the club swing, the body or the hands.
The traditional view has the pivot getting all the attention, and in some patterns that works (a pure CF swinging pattern - Knudson), but it must be a completely PURE swinginging motion. Physics is in control in that view. You can't get in the way of the 'swing', or you are in trouble.
TGM puts geometry in control, and hence the focus is on the hands to go up the plane, down the plane and have a hinge.
The club still can 'swing', but the feel and control of that swing is in the hands.
Ultimately it doesn't matter at all what the body does, it only matters what the club does, and how much the club is supported at impact (force).
If the human machine were simpler, we'd all swing like l-L!

Since our first lesson together, through PM's and E-mails, Sean has decide that Swinging has more advantages than Hitting. As he converts to Swinging and moves away from the "dark side", his initial focus is on the Pivot and how it produces the Pulling Forces that creates more distance (Physics).

ah, a guided struggle. That makes more sense. His first post is a "light bulb" moment on the path to enlightenment.
Bottom line: When seeking a guide to help you improve . . .
Do your homework. It is, after all, your Golf Stroke.
Demand excellence. Especially as evidenced by long-term student results verified by their direct testimonials.
Accept only excellence. Especially at the level to which you aspire. You will invest much time and money in the exercise. Rid yourself of the nagging worry, "If I 'bust my butt', will this work?"
Look for the right 'fit'. Psychological needs must be accommodated. Make sure you and your teacher 'mesh'. Life is way too short to endure personality conflicts, especially in relationships as close as this.
