advantages/disadvantages of being a full roll hitter? EDITED
 

I'm a hitter (pretty sure) who uses a full roll (horizontal hinge), pretty sure my release is somewhere around the snap but might not be maximum delay but you can tell on video it is a very late release.

So can anyone tell me what the advantages/disadvantages are to this type of stroke? I'm kinda curious to see if you guys can tell me (without me telling you) my strong/weak points and if it correlates to this stroke

thanks

EDIT:

Please be aware that I was confused as to what i was doing before and have since realized i was a swinger just employing some hitter moves to learn how to be a better swinger. Here is a link to what i was talking about. However there is still some good information in this thread.

smoothered pulls and hooks (starting from impact fix) OR push/push fades (starting from mid body)

depending on ball position as well (fixed = tends to pull, move = tends to push)

eh......sorta, not quite though.

Anyone else? besisdes Ed knows me from two other forums so he might have some insider knowledge so shoosh ;)

The disadvantage for me is loss of distance with longer clubs. I simply can't get the same lag and snap as with a Swing. Guess my Right Tricep just isn't up to it.

A tendency to hitting pulls and pull draws if "spinning out" or faulty, open, alignment issues are involved. :wink:

NOPE...you will notice that problem was an ALIGNMENT ISSUE and not a swing issue

So my "brain" was actually getting in the way :P

What a bunch of jokesters all of you are

However i will say that one of MY disadvantages of being a full roll hitter with a late release is a thinn shot from not un-cocking the left wrist.

Also i'm susceptable to fades when my ball position gets outta whack or into impact incorrectly and can't save it so instead of a small fade i get a big one. Not a slice but maybe 10 yard fade instead of 2-4 yard

Hitters use angled
 

Jim,
The hitter's #1 accumulator creates angled hinging. The pushing of the right arm overtakes the left and creates a no roll feel.
Are you loading for horizontal or angled?

Re: Hitters use angled
 

Are you implying that when you arrive at release point, you have to have done something different than usual preceding release, in order to Horizontally Hinge rather than Angle Hinge through Impact?

Yoda'sLuke...i couldn't tell you.

I use the stroke that manzella taught me and Yoda told him that it was a full roll hitting procedure.

So i'm going off that assumption..maybe im wrong :?:

Re: Hitters use angled
 

I would say yes...different than the "normal" angled hinging of hitting.
