Good stuff Ed! I'm going to try some of this myself. I've been hitting but recently started to learn to swing. I need to trust CF. Coming from hitting it's easy to want to bring in the right arm drive.
And coming from swinging to hitting I'm really beginning to understand the differences much more clearly.
Centrifigal force requires a steady rate of hand motion. Once the rate of motion is set up, the pivot simply maintains that rate by keeping the hands ahead of the clubhead until the left arm and clubshaft are in line. "effortless power" The rate is setup at start down and the momentum of that rate is transfered from the shoulders to the hands to the clubhead to the ball.
This is opposed to the constant hand acceleration of hitting driven by right arm thrust.
First, Bagger -- the confirmed Swinger -- announces that he's added Hitting to his repertoire and now YOU, a card-carrying Hitter. are adding in a Swinging procedure. Good grief, are you guys trying to become complete players or something?
Yes it's true! I've gone over to the dark side....
But in actuality I intend to use both procedures. I know that after swinging for a week or so when I go back to hitting, hitting feels easier. I think learing both procedures definitely compliment each other.
I use hitting for certain types of approach shots and most shots around the greens. My putting stroke is also a hit. But I'm starting to really like swinging with the driver and full iron shots.
