The weight should be on the balls of the feet. It doesn't matter if you're a hitter (muscular thrust) or a swinger (centrifugal force) the weight distribution is the same. A hitter slides his hip parallel to the inside/out path of the club. As per the Aaron Baddely drill the shaft on the ground would parallel the inside\out path of the club and is the angle the drill has you sliding parallel too. A swinger slides his hips parallel to the target line. David Laville, G.S.E.M. The Golfing Machine Authorized Instructor TB-8982

In simplest terms, if you use your turning body to swing the club you're a swinger. If you swing with your arms you're a hitter. Swinger=centrifugal force. Hitter=muscular thrust.

Homer also believed the swinger shouldn't use a 4 barrel approach. He thought it did more harm than good. Only the hitter should use the 4 barrel approach. David Laville, G.S.E.M.

Is it a swinger's swing or a hitter's swing? Does the idea that Peter Jacobsen talks about, "one vs two plane swing" fit into this discussion? Thanks |
