I believe I am a hitter as opposed to a swinger. I see what the basic differences are between the two, but obviously have much to learn. Isn't the hitter basically going at the ball on the right forearm plane? I can feel very powerful thrusting the right forearm (and heel of the right hand) at the ball and through the ball. How does this affect the grip? Do I need a strong left (lead) hand grip with the right palm's heel inline with the plane line? How does the club then get on the left arm plane? What am I missing here?
Again, I apologize if I am getting ahead of myself and focusing incorrectly here. I am just trying to get a little better with what has been driving me nuts so far. I have been playing for a while and read and studied much and have had some degree of success (15 hcp) but I want to get to the next level and be more consistent.
Thank you again for your patience and time.
I'd say without having a look it's kinda hard to say . . . but essentially the geometry is the same for hitting and swinging . . . the loading is different . . . but again that's really get ahead of the game without seeing what you got going on . . . at the end of the day Mr. Kelley said swinging is pulling and hitting is pushing. I'd wait awhile before I went too far down that road too early. Time for milk at this point not red meat.

As a 15 you should figure out what your tendencies are . . .where is your ball striking lacking?

Do you hit the ball fat? Do you hit big curves? Which way does it curve?

See if you can put your swing up . . . you'll get plenty of help. Forget about hitting/swinging at this point . . . you need to get a baseline on what's happening now . . . then you can work on implementation.

Put some video up . . . nobody will make you look bad.
