Almost everybody on the planet is a swinger after the ball leaves the club. You can’t be a hitter and use the left hand, you can Flail at it with you left hand, bow you left wrist, flip with the left, pull with the left, but you can’t hit with the left. A Hitter pushes the palm down and extends the right arm, the right hand pushes controlling the arc on the DS before impact and rotation of the pivot controls the path/release of hands @ low point on the through swing after impact.
I have asked this question on a few other forums with resistance and silence. I am trying to learn and I want to get others opinions weather it is agreeable or disagreeable.

Hitter's push with their right arm and bent right wrist past impact to both arms straight which is defined as follow through.

Okay thats a good answer and much like what I said " A Hitter pushes the palm down" you can't not have a bent right wrist if you are pushing the palm down to the ball other wise the palm would be facing the target or the sky. After the ball leaves and the pivot releases allowing the inside and up path you are still push the palm now up the plane. The only way this could not happen is if you use a cross over release, or from over hinging.
To me Lynn trying to stick the mail box stick in the ground is this very same action. If the palm is at the target @ compression then the stick is way ahead of the ball, and if the palm is pointing at your face the stick is going airborn (flip)...
One thing you will notice is @ Compression the swingers right elbow is still bent and his shoulders are open. Swinger could throw the club forward at impact and Hitter can't.
Pure Swinger
Maybe this is why Swingers create width on the down swing or some extend the right arm well past impact???
Swingers don't/can't have a bent right wrist at impact?
Hitters don't have any elbow bend left at impact?
All swingers flip it past impact?
Hinge action defines hitting or swinging?
Just when I thought I was starting to understand TGM!
No.... Don't take this as TGM that is Lynn's job and others to explain that, I am just giving my opinion on what I believe and looking for feed back from the Great minds here... Sorry don't be confused over my post, just think of them as another golfer that is looking for answers.
