For SWINGING, the Right Elbow will be pointing more towards the ground. The Right Forearm will be directly opposed to the secondary lever assembly because of the turning of the left forearm in the start up swivel.
For HITTING, the Right Elbow will be pointing more behind the player.The Right Forearm will be directly opposed to the primary lever assembly as there is no swiveling of the left forearm.
I agree with regard to the direction the right elbow will pointing. I personnally believe that this is one way to identify a golfer's intent, be it swinging or hitting, however with amateurs this can be quite misleading due to the mixing of components.
I would ask a question.
When I was with Yoda, we did a drill using paddles. The drill for swinging was at start up to rotate the right palm to the plane angle by time your club first became parallel to the ground and then continue on up. For a hitter the motion was different in that the palm didn't reach this alignment till it was at the top. Is this the swivel you are referencing?
