Can you hit with a pitch elbow??

[tball88]

Recently I have been hitting the ball by just taking the club back and attempting to drive the right elbow into my left hip pocket, or trying to obtain a pitch elbow position. When done correctly, I create a great deal of lag and hit the ball well.

Is this still considered a hit??

My old way of hitting was to attempt to push with the right arm, using the right shoulder as a platform.


Any thoughts??
