Swingers begin the Longitudinal (lenthwise) Acceleration of the Golf Club immediately in the Start Down. In other words, they Pull -- Drag -- the Clubshaft Down Plane (toward the Plane Line) in the direction it is pointing. Hitters, on the other hand, Push -- Drive -- the Clubshaft Radially (directly from behind). Thanks Yoda! Quick follow up . . . The thread on Bobby Clampett got me thinking or confused on this. A Swinger is typically completing the Backstroke at End vs. Top. In order for the club to be Pulled Down Plane from End, would the club not be pulled in a horizontal fashion from End to Top and then Down Plane? Just curious . . Thanks!
