Hitting for non-TGM'ers

In very simple terms, hitting is pushing the club with the right arm, while swinging is dragging the club. These are very quick and concise things with which I would concern myself if trying to hit:

1. Keep the body quiet.
2. Freeze the right wrist.
3. Extend the right arm throughout the total motion.
4. Start with the right forearm in line with the clubshaft. (You must see yourself in a mirror to see this alignment. The right arm is bent and the left arm is straight.)
5. Knock the %$#! out of the ball with the heel of your right hand.
6. The hitters motion should start softly but get louder through impact.
7. MOST IMPORTANTLY:

See someone that knows TGM inside and out.
