Maybe more of a switter...
Swinger, as he made no effort to "stifle and annul centrifugal force". It was centrifugal force that wouldn't let him "release the club from the top". His competitor, Mr. Palmer, was the Hitter. Longitudinal acceleration (pulling) versus Radial acceleration (pushing) is the key, not the hinge action.
