Is Drag Loading and Drive Loading really what differentiates a Swinger from a Hitter? I have come to the conclusion that the answer is no.

It is possible for you to Drag Load at Startdown and still Push the Club through Impact, so you will ultimately be classified as a Hitter. Or you can Drive Load but Pull the Club with Left Arm Centrifugal Power, hence you're a Swinger. I believe the former is actually quite common on Tour.

Any comments?

I would say the prior is 4 barrel hitting, but you can't pull and push at the same time (reference 2-M-3 but correct the typo error of Pressure point #4 to #1 as found in 10-19-C). Per 10-19-A and 10-19-C, I'd have to say that it does differentiate somewhat as they are characteristics found in the first paragraph. But, "true" hitting and "true" swinging (7-2) are only this (and the only place to get this was from Yoda):

"The 'true' swinger allows centrifugal force to align both the clubface and the clubshaft. The 'manipulated hands swinger' allows centrifugal force to align the clubshaft but not the clubface. The 'true' hitter allows centrifugal force to align neither."

I have variations from 12-1-0 that create the 12-4-Ted, but I'm still creating the force with the right triceps through impact. For an example of variation, impact address gives me a better feel for my impact alignments. So, I use it. I would be offended if someone called me a swinger. I'm a 4 barrel hitter.
