Rhythm in TGM is defined in terms of RPM -- revolutions per minute. Pace, on the other hand, is defined in terms of MPH -- miles per hour. In other words, Rhythm is the Left Arm and Club (the Primary Lever Assembly) going around their Center (the Left Shoulder Hinge Pin) together. Pace is how fast or how slow those two parts 'go around together.'
So, Rhythm requires that the Left Arm and Clubshaft remain In-Line throughout the Stroke -- or at the very least, during Release ('through the Ball'). This is possible only if the Left Wrist remains Flat. The Flat Left Wrist can be the actual visual version (produced with the Single Action Grips (10-2-A and -B) or its Geometric Equivalent (produced when the Grip is such that the Left Wrist is not visually Flat at Impact, but nevertheless, the Left Arm and Clubshaft remain In-Line).
Now to your question:
Hitters and Swingers both must have Rhythm, but their Rhythms typically are different. That is because the Drive-Out Action of the Hitter produces Angled Hinge Action, and the Throw-Out Action of the Swinger produces Horizontal Hinge Action. And the only difference between those two Hinge Actions -- and Vertical Hinge Action as well -- is the distance the Clubhead travels during the Hinge Action itself, i.e., to the end of the Follow-Through (Both Arms Straight position).
The key to these respective Rhythms -- Hitter's Rhythm and Swinger's Rhythm -- is the Feel experienced by the player during their Execution. Hitters feel their Angled Hinge Action as 'No Roll.' Swingers feel their Horizontal Hinge Action as 'Roll.'
Those two Feels are miles apart in Execution, and they must be carefully rehearsed in the player's Practice Stroke and Waggle, especially if he would alternate between the two during actual play.
Bossmang . . . One would NOT want to execute Angled Hinging with Sequenced Wrist Action either no?
