[Yoda]

I've heard it said before on this site that learning to hit can improve swinging. Besides familiarizing the player with the feel of PP3, in what other ways can hitting help to improve swinging? While we're at it, in what ways can learning to swing help a hitter?

Bigwill,

With Swinging, Centrifugal Force does so many things to help.

-- It aligns the Clubshaft.

-- It aligns the Clubface.

-- It thrusts the Clubhead.

Pity the poor Hitter.

He must do all three...with absolutely no help from 'Mother Nature.' Since only his Thrust is different, he must know -- and be able to supply -- all the other alignments.

Bottom Line:

Hitting is much harder to learn than Swinging.

But once you know it...

It is easier.

Two reasons to learn Hitting:

1. When you Hit, you are never out of your Impact alignments.

2. When you can Hit, you know the mission-critical Swinging Alignments.

At this point, Swinging becomes...

"...like shooting ducks in a pond."
