I don't think I have repeated this on this board as many times as I have on others....
Go to the Gallery and find 6bMike's video titled "Hitter's Row". It's a bit of a misnomer because 6bMike meant it more like the novel title "Murderer's Row" (of the golf ball). It is actually a face-on of Lynn Swinging and Ted Hitting. The compelling value of the vid is that they are doing their Total Motions almost in synchronization. But that is for another day. there is just so much in that video.
For today, just consider it an invaluable look at Ted's swing, face on. You don't have to have an eye forged on Homer Kelley's teachings to see general things which can be spoken of in the generic.
Just notice that when Ted is at Top and locked and loaded, everything about him is ready to drive "straight down". You can see it. And that's a driver in his hand, not an iron. Contrast that with Lynn's Swing that has to milk every inch out of the radius (and centrifugal force). So the down Action is more difficult to see.
I am just beyond novice and it was difficult to get the cognition of "Down" with the driver. Just couldn't get it until I saw Ted do it and that ball that just refused to fall from the sky.
That video is pure gold. Just run it in slo-mo over and over like Sybervision. Then let the questions flow.

You're right, Charlie. Clearly, Ted is Hitting and I am Swinging http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/gallery...loadfile&i=122. In fact, the respective Strokes could be used as models for both Patterns. For comparative purposes, note the following 'Hitting versus Swinging' Component Variations:
-- Impact Address (10-9-B) vs. Classic Address (10-9-A)
-- Top Assembly Point (10-21-A) vs. End Assembly Point (10-21-C)
-- Fixed Lag Pressure Point vs. Rotated Lag Pressure Point (both explained in 10-11-0-3)
-- Drive Loading (of the Right Triceps / 10-19-A) vs. Drag Loading (of the Left Wrist / 10-19-C)
-- Power Accumulator #1 (Right Arm Drive-Out off backstop Right Shoulder / 6-B-1-A) vs. Power Accumulator #4 (Left Arm Throwout by driving Right Shoulder Turn Thrust / 6-B-4-A)
-- Right Arm Throw (10-19-B) vs. Left Wrist Throw (10-20-E)
-- Simultaneous Release vs. Sequenced Release (both explained in 4-D-0)
-- Angled Hinging (10-10-C) vs. Horizontal Hinging (10-10-D)
Especially telling is the differentiating use of the #1 versus the #4 Power Accumulators. We were both 'maxing out' in Release -- he of his Right Triceps Thrust and me of my Right Shoulder Turn Thrust (Body Momentum Transfer).
Students who use this video as a case study will go a long way toward advancing their understanding of Hitting and Swinging.
