I have been utilizing TGM concepts for the past few months with increasing success. Yesterday I was hitting the ball very solid, and very much had the feel of what I understand "hitting" to be. Right forearm takeaway to the top, and right arm thrust through the ball. When I do some mirror work, my backswing is between top and end. Can you still be a hitter and go all the way to end? It really doesn't matter to me if I'm a hitter or swinger, just as long as I keep hitting the ball solid. Just curious.

You can still Hit, woodmo, despite an End Backstroke, but the procedure becomes problematic. That's because as the Backstroke moves away from the Top of the Straight Line Delivery Path (10-23-A/B) and approaches the End (10-24-C/D) the pull of gravity loads only the Secondary Lever (the Golf Club) via the #3 Lag Pressure Point against the Right Hand's first knuckle (and on the top of the Shaft).
This is as opposed to the Hitter's Top of the Line Loading of the entire Primary Lever (the Club and Left Arm) with the # 3 Pressure Point Loading remaining in the fleshy pad of the Right Forefinger (and against the back of the Shaft). This proper Loading must be restored if the Hitter takes his Backstroke to the End.
Also, the Re-Tracing necessary from End to Top, produces an almost irresistable tendency toward Longitudinal Acceleration of the Swinger's Drag Loading (instead of the Hitter's Radial Acceleration and Drive Loading).
So, yes, you can go to End and still Hit. But, once you understand the problems and risks encountered, the question becomes...
It also seems that the longer the swing (before impact), the tougher to "sustain the lag" through impact with the "hitting" procedure.
__________________ Yani Tseng, Go! Go! Go! Yani Tseng Did It Again! YOU load and sustain the "LAG", during which the "LAW" releases it, ideally beyond impact.
"Sustain (Yang/陽) the lag (Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" (陰陽合一).
The "LAW" creates the "effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the "cause", which is the "intent" or "command".
"Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life.
Think as a golfer, execute like a robot.
Rotate, twist, spin, turn. Bend the shaft.

Yoda, Thanks for the reply. Could this in any way cause on of my ongoing problems, hitting the ball off the toe? Some days are worse than others, but when I do my divots are going left (OTT?) and I'm sure I must be getting steep in the downswing. Any advice would be certainly appreciated to stop the toe shots and finish the backswing at end.

Your post stimulated questions relative to lever assemblies/accumulators and pressure points.
A-Can there be a similar effect as you have described from cocking the left wrist in the backstroke?
B-Also, reference:
1-From 6-A-2, the primary lever assembly is propelled by the arms (accumulators and PP 1 and/or PP4).
2-From 6-B-1-0, Accumulator #1 is the Hitters muscle power accumulator.
3-From 12-1-0, Hitting Pattern, Pressure Point Combination, Double (1/3).
4- From your post, <<the Hitter's Top of the Line Loading of the entire Primary Lever (the Club and Left Arm) with the # 3 Pressure Point >>
From a Hitting perspective, I am having difficulty understanding PP4's role (#1 above).
