Cools I know what you mean, but believe me Hitters do exist as does Single Wrist Action.......... In regard to the latter are you saying there's no such thing as a 10-2-D grip for instance? On a hitter or swinger? Wrist Action alone does not define Hitting or Swinging , per say, necessarily. Compensations do happen.
I do agree that golf for the Swinger is still a very right sided business but there's a big difference in the direction of force being applied by the Hitter and Swinger on the handle. 90 degrees to be specific. I also agree that for the guy who loads the knuckle (Rotated Pressure Point) and Drag Loads with a lot of Longitudinal Acceleration and gets late into a Delayed Release it'd be very difficult for Muscular Thrust (on the aft of the shaft) to overpower what he and CF have already put in place. That clubhead does get whipping around awfully quickly. The further he gets into it the more his Right side would be chasing trying to catch up and then overpower. Perhaps if you had "three right hands"?. But this assumes a lot and there are Four Barrel Hitters out there, guys who Drag then Drive.
I also would agree that pure Drive Loading is not all that common in Total Motion but Drive Loading is only a form of Hitting. A pure form which is diametrically opposed to Drag Loading making them both excellent basic patterns, places to start or places to stay forever. Defined by their unique Alignments and directions of loading and thrusting in Startdown.
Id say every good golfer can both Hit and Swing to some degree, perhaps without knowing it. What about Tigers "stinger" or anyones "knock down" shot for that matter? Right Arm only putting or chipping.
Here's something Ive been noodling over in regard to Hitting vs Swinging. Look down at your grips butt end. Divide it into compass points North/South and East/West. The Drag Loader loads , bends the shaft along N/S axis in Startdown (assuming ball positioned at Low Point no Grip Rotation etc) The Drive Loader along E/W in Startdown. The 4B Hitter Drags then Drives.....Drives after his Left Hand Rotates off the Inclined Plane (after the E/W rotates onto the plane). You can do this sequentially Drag the Drive, but not together at the same time in. They are incompatible. You cant get N/S and E/W on the Inclined Plane at the same time. You cant Load and Thrust against the North and East at the same time and be very consistent anyways. Like having one guy push a car on the back while a second guy is pushing the side with a force vector that is 90 degrees different. One guy pushing South while the other pushes West.
We're talking Startdown. When the Left Hand returns to Vertical you could say its possible to pull West while you are driving West and therefore have the vectors aligned but how doable is that for a full shot? Maybe when putting or another purely Radial Acceleration shot but why bother for such a low powered shot?
I dunno just something Ive been thinking about. Are we in the Lab? If not , we are now.
Cheers
