I don't believe hitting and swinging can be differentiated solely on a single element.
What properly differentiates Hitting and Swinging are in 6-H-0. Factors rather than a single factor properly separates them.

Sorry, but I have to respectfully disagree with you.
You can mix Swinging components/procedures with Hitting components/procedures -- some people call this 'Switting'. But you are either a Hitter or Swinger per my first post on this thread.
