How do you know if you're a swinger or hitter?

Bagger,

What I am actually trying to express . One way to look at swinging or hitting is how we implement forces to the shaft.

Are we implementing the forces ( usually muscular ) against and across the shaft ( hitting)

Or are we letting Centrifugal /centripetal force , the nature of physics implemented on the shaft .. In fact . A slinger will be a very nice mental picture for swinging.

that is one way that I look at it to separate swinging and hitting.

Now, do this motion have to be pure to play good golf?


Though I notice, and got confused , and puzzled and hopefully I understand better now. That there seem to be a lot of variances to swinging. Not limiting to Homer Kelly's Power accumulator and lag pressures. There are also transfer and conservation of inertia, Torque , and its possible to apply torque from ground up through the joints, even pivot brake. As different joints accelerates , brakes and decelerates then pause.

From Earnest Jones, David "gravity" golf . , George Knudson, Bob Torski, Jimmy Damaret to ,Paul Bertholy, Jimmy ballards, Ben Hogan and last but not least Homer Kelly. Different characteristic and methods of swinging. Ben Hogan did say HIT it ... not swing through it in the Youtube video mentioned by Yoda.. And Tom Tomasello videos did mention the exact same thing... But I would not argue if its actually swinging or hitting... 4 barrel swinger or 4 barrel hitter.. Because ,, simply I don't know..

From Just letting the club drops with the effect of pure gravity and let the centrifugal force, to applying torque from feet up to maximize inertia and/or using the arm "hit" to release. or Pivotless Pure Arm swing.. or let the pivot bring the arm around ..Let the arm blast from the pivot etc etc etc....

No expert or even novice in these but I hope one day someone bring out some data from TPI or Iclub ...
