New to TGM, hitting vrs swinging for me

[gmbtempe]

Are you sure Shawn is a swinger? I've always seen him as a hitter, as he stresses letting gravity start the downswing and then push the swing (slow startdown) and skipping stones over water which is like hitting.

Funny, I thought the same thing, the skipping stones is a hitting like motion. I do agree with Richie though that many of his lessons seem more geared to swinging than any right arm thrusting. I also think he uses the skipping stones analogy to get the proper tilt into the impact position while maintaining the right elbow position.
