Hitting is just a new type of experience after swinging for so many years.
At first I had difficulty allowing my right side to "hit " the ball. Felt unnatural because I did it with my left side so long.
But after a few pure solid contact, I wonder "why didn't i?"

Some good tips are to keep the clubface "looking" at the ball during the backswing with the right arm. Drive the right arm in a thrusting action.
Imagine a bicycle wheel in front of your body,
In hitting I would be using the right hand to hold on of the wire spokes and driving the wheel down.
In a swinging motion I would grab the rubber end of the tire with my right hand and throwing the wheel around.
same result different way of doing it.

I also found that I had to adjust my ball position a bit more out than usual. I think because I wasn't use to the OUTWARD component. In swinging I was aiming FORWARD, DOWN and IN and had a FADE . Now it's FORWARD, DOWN and OUT and a natural DRAW.

Good Luck.
