Steve,
Golf's a difficult game to learn - outside of any swing changes - the importance of understanding "essentials" and thinking long term in building and integrating your swing - is key. It's the "web" not so much any particular string that's important. With that said here's a few basic ideas given your request for feedback.

First, you can work on some changes that are common to both hitting and swinging - later as you progress you can choose to swing or hit, etc. While your strength and stature may give you the ability to hit - it seems that you naturally are a swinger - but even that can be mis-leading as you are "throwing the clubhead at the ball" and that makes it look like you are swinging.

I need to eat dinner - I'll be back shortly to provide my feedack.
