1-F Hitter or Swinger?

[Yoda]

Thanks for the response.

1) Push more than pull. I feel comfortable doing either.
2) Top
3) Short of parallel against #3 pressure point. Can you describe firmly? On a scale of 1-10 my #3 pressure is 4.


I also believe I use a punch stroke more than a pitch stroke and I emphasis a connected feeling in a my left shoulder and left chest area thru the entire swing.

The characteristics you have defined are consistent with Hitting. In fact, no characteristic you mentioned is consistent with Swinging. Therefore...

Or at least enough of a duck to warrant the assumption!

So, follow the Hitting Basic Pattern of 12-1-0 and assimilate each component per the Basic Motion Curriculum of 12-5-1/2/3.

Quack! Quack!

There are 10 great photos there that show that Bobby Jones did not bend or flex the golf shaft. He swung with essentially NO leverage from the handle.

For Swingers -- who Pull the Club through Impact -- Centrifugal Force powers the Secondary Lever Assembly only (the Golf Club), and the Shaft acts like a Rope.

For Hitters -- who Push the Club through Impact -- Muscular Thrust powers the entire Primary Lever Assembly (Left Arm and Club) and the Shaft acts like an Axe Handle.
