Can someone please correct me if I am wrong about this.

Both left side only gets to PULL, which mean left shoulder still need to still Pull the arms from the top for hitters and to support the 4 1 2 3 release for hitters.

Both Right side only gets to PUSH. even for swingers.

Both require rhythm.. Hitting is not a independently powered right tricep . Very common misconception about hitting.

Both Hitting and swinging can use any hinge action
Both hitting and swinging can use sequential or Overlapping release. and different release points

Swinger use Throwaways.. Hitters use muscular force. And , both hitting or swinging tricep behaves the same , As Active or As passive ( I think the difference is in the participation of pivot, swinger use pivot , hitter, push/punch stroke use or don't use pivot power). Or some might call it extensor action , some might call it No.1 accumulator (but they have no difference in motion and feel, still doing the same job)!.. HOWEVER ... swinger tricep supports the Secondary( pull the shaft thus also makes the back swing longer) assembly while Hitter supports the Primary assembly ( pull left thumb). The HUGE difference of the required axe and rope motion is thus achieved with different no.3 pressure point and elbow position. 90% of the difference is done at setup.

SO... which is why Hitting and swinging execution and motion is very much the same, but with different result in feel , hinging and mechanics.

Ie. a 4 barrel HIT stroke still require a shoulder throw to load the No.4 accumulator.

AND they can Feel very much the same. but different Look and motion.

Any thoughts on this?

Go and have a think about what you ACTUALLY do during a tug-of-war contest.
