Great topic and some very informative answers thus far. I am feeling like hitting is more natural for me but certainly don't want to give up on swinging. It sounds like a few people seem to think swinging needs to be learned first and that has me thinking.
I definitely agree that hitting for basic and acquired motion seems easier and swinging the longer clubs seems like a better idea but I have much work to do with that. I realize now why I always have had a lot of inconsistency in my game when I would seem to mix both swinging and hitting elements.
I do wonder about setup and posture, is it the same for both? Do you feel very vertical or more bent over? Another question is should the shoulder turn feel level or steep?
Any direction would be appreciated.
