The question I have is whether I am a swinger or a hitter. It seems like I am a mix because when I hit my irons well, especially my short irons, I feel the sensation of extending my right arm and driving down and thru my aiming point. With my (well struck) tee shots, I feel like I am swinging my hands low and left through the ball which usually results in a baby fade. Historically, my misses have been left. Thanks-
It's possible that you Swing your Long Clubs and Hit with short Clubs. I think that's more common than one would think.

However, but not to make too strong an issue, is that while Driving your Right Forearm through impact, if you Simultaneously Uncock your Right Wrist, then Technically, it could be considered a Swing. Worst case scenario, a "Swit"; half swing - half Hit. A Pure Hit would occur if your right hand, wrist and forearm were in a "cast" so that no independent motion of them occurs through Impact.
