To me, he is still swinging as I don't see much a difference between now and the video.

But if someone knows, I'm still interested in a confirmation of what Brian is really doing...

Brian feels he uses his Right Arm a lot during the Impact Interval. That would explain why setting his Right Forearm On Plane at Address these past three years has made such a tremendous difference for him. Also, his abbreviated Backstroke is indicative of Drive Loading, and despite his extremely fast Downstroke Shoulder Turn, his Hip and Shoulder 'separation' is minimal. Finally, all his Short Shot and 'through Impact' posed alignments tend toward Angled Hinging (with its 'bad shot' being a 'Push Cut).

So, the jury is out, but as near as I can figure, he's Hitting, and these are the alignments we've emphasized. On the other hand, Brian's good TOUR friend, John Riegger, thinks he's Swinging.

Most of us need to take a page from Jeff Hull's book and not worry so much about it. Pay attention to the Impact alignments -- per 1-L #20, the Geometry is identical for every Machine -- and let your natural instincts dictate the Physics of the Action.
