I’m not making myself very clear, but have really been feeling what an aligned right forearm feels like at impact recently (very fantastic!), however I wonder if the feeling I’m having – the support of the right forearm behind the shot which makes me feel like my pivot is pushing from my right side through my forearm through impact - is compatible with swinging – or whether I’m hitting/switting.

Chris,
I'd say that there is nothing wrong with your description above - certainly nothing that wouldn't allow it to be a swing. Sounds like a nice description of the golf swing.

In contrast- and to comment on your first couple of paragraphs in your original post- passive doesn't mean that you shouldn't feel the right arm, etc, etc.- in fact it's really a relative term - passive (reactive) versus active. Another way to look at it is if you thrust with the right arm when you're hitting- that's probably clear and you know the feeling. Then anything that is not thrusting would be passive and would not be radial acceleration i.e. is not hitting. Not a good post on my part in regards to the forum- too much vagueness too many holes to attack- but on a one on one conversation in person- within that context- and assuming that i've read your dilemma properly- then it's pretty close i.e. might be the right answer at the right time.
