Check out the video I posted called "Hitters Row." Ted is hitting in the background and Lynn is swinging in the foreground. Check out the pivots.

Yes, in my eye the pivot action at the start of the downstroke is the same: it loads the power package and starts the checkrein action for both strokes…

Now I'm lost. Was there doubt that a Hitter had no pivot? Certainly a hitter has a hip action and turn.

6bmike,
I think Jeff among others have an incomplete picture on how to perform a complete hitting stroke. At last I was!

Why so? I think it relates to what we saw on videos: When Lynn describes the Hitting stroke, he puts a lot of emphasis on the right arm thrust as THE power source for Hitters and talk very little about the role of the pivot as an equally important source of power for the Hitter.

You are lucky enough to be close to the green man, so you have no fog in your mind, be for the fellow TGMers far away and only relying on the videos, this could be half the story we need to know about Hitting.

To me, there is a lack of information about chapter 2-M-4 related to the Hitting stroke on the videos: As a result, I pictured Hitting in my mind more of a 1-2-3 release of the accumulators (requiring to have the right arm of Mike Tyson!) with the body following the motion some way, instead of the proper 4-1-2-3 much more powerful release (and requiring a normal right arm!).

Second- CF is a throw-out. You can not feel CF because it is a clubface motion. The clubface seeks an inline condition, not the golfer's body

Sure, but imagine that while performing a Hitting stroke, the clubhead detaches from the shaft halfway down in the downstroke (as if your club broke!).
Because the clubhead is moving in an arc (hitting or swinging!), you can be sure it is subject to CF and that the clubhead will go away in the tangent of the arc of the swing where it broke! For sure it will not spear the aiming point!

This is this kind of CF I am talking about.

I think that if you are Hitting, using a proper angled hinge action (and even with only ACC#1 power!) you can feel this resulting CF in the clubhead because physics dictates there is some!!!

I just discovered that using a lot of lag pressure in PP4 makes me more aware of this RESULTING CF occurring while Hitting…and I thought it was wrong !

I agree that I would have been wrong if I thought about Hitting and using CF instead of right arm thrust to provide power but I think we are not talking about the same CF here: One is propelling the clubhead (Swinging) while the other is a inevitable result of the angular motion and must not been regarded as wrong while hitting!
