Well, I referenced tour(s) which includes many more players to model, not just The Tour. I just seems to me that there are not enough professionals, past or present, who do this to say its an optimal way to try to play the game. Especially when you see comments on this site such as "toe in the face to negate the fade tendency of hitting"....whats that about?

After Ted as an example, who else you got?

They don't identify themselves as hitters, but Gary Edwin guys use the right arm and right side to push the club through impact. Rod Pampling, Peter Lonard, Gavin Coles, to name a few.

The problem with IDing hitter's on tour is that very few tour players setup with the right forearm on plane, and at top, hitters and swingers look the same.

I started hitting in 2004 or so and played my best golf doing so. It did take a little time to get used to the longer clubs (2-3 range sessions) because the length of swing was shorter and the timing was different. After that hump, I hit it better than I swing it.

Hitting is a great procedure. It works with all clubs.
