What would be really interesting is to have a definition of what we mean by hit or swing, then work out a way of assessing players ( in whatevr way you like) to decide what they are doing...

Can't be done. This has been the one thing asked by forum members on any TGM forum since the last century. Everyone want a "list."
The Intent of Push or Pull is invisible. The Geomtery is the same- that circle doesn't change- the motion is very much alike. The End of the swing is different on full shots and might be the closest part of the swing that one can tell if a TGMer is Hitting or Swinging. Tour guys are different- they all compensate some form of a pull. Tour guys never studied TGM, never had to decide if they pushed or pulled- they are pull full shots.

Maybe in a few years some real TGM kids grow up and make the tour. They will be the first ones that will know the difference. Nobody (AIs) had a clue to what the Hit stroke could be until Yoda swung forth from the Swamp- and that has four years ago. We live in a cross roads of golf and G.O.L.F. instruction.
We all have an opportunity no Tour player ever had- to build a machine to 'our' specs. Tour players will always have something we will NEVER have- frigging TALENT. They can out play anyone and always could. But that is changing and TGM-Lynn Blake-and others are making noise.

As for Loading Lag- you better load lag- was they even a question about it?
Body-Hands-Club, Impact. Lag is great, now thrust it.
