I know that HK states that the right forearm supports the primary lever assembly in hitters and only the clubshaft in swingers, but I cannot clearly envisage the difference because I think that the left arm and clubshaft are essentially in the same plane during the late backstroke when the hands are reaching shoulder height (as the left arm flying wedge), and that if the right forearm is held at right angles to the primary lever assembly it is also at right angles to the clubshaft. Am I wrong?

Ok so bottom line according to Mr. Kelley Hitting is PUSHING . . . Swinging is PULLING. So you have to get your right forearm in a relationship to the lever assembly being loaded to do just that.
With Hitting the right forearm is going to DRIVE the structured unit of the left arm and shaft through the ball ala a 2x4 . . .
With Swinging you are pulling the club LONGITUDINALLY. So you are pulling the the shaft or really the longitudinal center of grativity. Homer describes it as pulling an arrow out of a quiver.
