swinging is pulling and hitting is pushing.you cannot hit and draw the ball.
you can have right arm participation and be a swinger,but you are still pulling.kenny perry is a true swinger,i grew up with him and play practice rounds with him all the time.he cannot hit a cut to save his life.if he was a hitter that would be all he could do.ask yoda if you dont believe me.i was demonstrating to him today hitting and swinging during a practice round in cleveland today,when i dont want it to go left and make sure it cuts i use hitting motion.the right forearm loads completely different and is very evident at top and finish.once again you cannot draw the ball using hitting motion.if you are you are not doing it right.

John - You might doublecheck with Yoda, Rob or Ted on that one. There is a way to work the ball using a hitting stroke. Rotating clubface in the grip and adjusting plane line. Much different procedure than for swingers but equally effective. Agree that a "pure" hit is a slight fade, but with adjustments you can hit it laser straight or draw.
Those that have mastered hitting are few and far between because it is only taught by a handful of TGM folks, and some of the procedures are very different from swinging.
Go gettem this week!!! Good luck!

If ball position is forward in stance, trajectory will be higher. I think Ben's video covers the effect the plane line has on working the ball(draw/fade).

Third edition 3 barrel hitting stroke....the stroke pattern used a punch basic stroke, standard wrist action, horizontal hinging, right arm trigger. With this hitting stroke one should be able to hit a great draw shot easily. See 7-2 about hitting a hook with a pure hitting stroke per 12-1-0, it can be done.....I've done it.
