I think I heard/read that Mr. K preferred Hitting to Swinging. Something like harder to learn but easier to execute.

Why is Hitting better from a Golfing Machine perspective and a human machine perspective?

It was his preference for his own pattern. Let's be clear that it wasn't something that he preferred for everyone to do. I would guess it was the hinge action that he preferred.

His quotes were, "Hitting is just so darn accurate." And, "Swinging is like shooting ducks in a pond."
