The angle hinging action for hitters is most compatible versus horizontal hinging is compatible with swinging. As stated in a previous post Yoda and Yodasluke are masters in the art of hitting and if you plan to use hitting you should get lessons or study the various forums to understand the difference in technique. For example the hitter does not use a start up swivel and keeps the clubface facing the ball as long as possible on the backswing. If you really get a chance get down to the swamp and book a lesson with yodasluke. He is great and he can quickly determine if you are suited to hitting.

Did he not use any kind of swivel at the end for the hits? davel View Public Profile Send a private message to davel Find all posts by davel
