[MizunoJoe]

I am 57 years old, 5'8" tall, and tip the scales at 140 pounds. I am not strong. Unfortunately, I'm not flexible either. My original sports were baseball, and then tennis for 20 years. Would my physical non-attributes and background suggest that I try to become a hitter or a swinger? Or, would this be more a function of which motion I find more comfortable?
For those who might suggest that I learn both motions, I'm a
hacker. I'll be happy if I can learn *one* of the two swings!

Thank you in advance for your advice.

Your baseball and tennis experience guarantee that your hands/arms will move independently on the downswing - that will have to be trained OUT if you decide to Swing the club. But, your lack of flexibility does NOT rule out Swinging!

If you decide on Hitting, you will have problems generating adequate distance.
