Also he talked about the ball flight was a fade from what I have read on this forum about hitting the ball flight is straight. Did he not use any kind of swivel at the end for the hits? From my personal experience, I find that I Hit the ball farther than I do when Swinging. Hitting is my pattern. I don't practice Swinging. I would have to work on my release interval to get the distance with Swinging. My clubhead speed when Hitting is 112 with a driver. My clubhead speed when Swinging is 106. I believe that I could get them to match if I ever worked on swinging. But, I don't believe that I would find any appreciable difference in either if I practiced both. The Swinger gains in all the vectors being aligned. The Hitter gains in the use of the powerful right triceps. Just from some of the statements that I've heard Homer make about Right Arm Swinging (7-19: 10-3-K, Bat with loosened wrists) I choose to stay away from it..."There's no particular advantage", "You lose all radius to the feet". But, I am not a Tomasello expert. For that, you'll have to speak to Delaware Golf. __________________ Yoda knows...and he taught me! For those less fortunate, Swinging is an option.
