You lost me in this part Ted.

Does Radial Accel. = Hitting?

Longitud. Accel. = Swinging?

Yes, and yes.
I'd say swingers would have a much easier time losing extensor action and still have the ability to play well, although I'd never encourage it. At least centrifugal force will bring everything into alignment. But with hitting, we don't have that luxury.
We haven't even talked about the physical implications of the heavy club causing a hyper-extension of the left arm, which is highly possible if extension is re-gained around impact.
