Just curious. In the basic motion, what distinguishes the swinger from the hitter? It looked like he was starting from impact fix and then picking the right forearm up and bringing it back down.
In the basic motion (12-5-1) or in any motion- the acceleration method is what differentiates the swinger from the hitter- that's it. A close 2nd would be the hinge action/rhythm- as that's normally a result of the acceleration method- but the hinge action does not differentiate hitting from swinging. Otherwise, the basic motion for both is identical.
Someone correct me if i'm wrong, but a swinger has a startup swivel somewhere in the backswing correct? Where as the hitter doesn't? I thought that was one of more the "visual cues" to a swinger/hitter. Obviously the power source is the main key, but i thought this was a close second.

Jim,
You'd see that in the acquired motion (12-5-2) but not in the Basic motion (12-5-1).
Of course, 6-H-0 covers the overall general differences between the two, again with the same issue that the only one that fundamentally differentiates the two is the acceleration method i.e. you can have a backswing swivel for hitting and add any necessary compensations for it.
