First of all,

This is clearly one of the more interesting threads about swinging vs hitting for a long time.

Daryl's clear and no-compromize analysis are both impressive and convincing. To be precise I am very impressed but not totally convinced at the moment.

The pictures shows quiet hips through impact. Which is very different from what I expect to see from e.g. Sergio Garcias swing. I tend to regard the quiet hips as a sign of a driving force at work. The body waiting for the hands to catch up. And also as an enabler of more angular hinge action. Which all correlate with hitting I believe.

This is a good opportunity to learn a lessen so I will appreciate a comment from Daryl and those who disagree with him.
