After just looking at both swings in software, I can def see Perry right arm firing off chest on the down swing. more so than Toms.

He's the obvious one then.
I wonder what kind Brian Gay is? He is also a hitter - but how obvious?

How about a couple of blasts from the past? I'd nominate Craig Stadler and Mark McCumber. McCumber especially looked to me like he set up with an impact fix and "hit"! And HUGE divots. Played to a cut/fade.
On the recent front, how about Zach Johnson? Seems to hold off through impact?
JB Holmes?
I don't know if I read this or thought it up, but could the lack of hitters on tour be because most pros learn to play so young they can't help but be swingers because they don't have enough strength to hit. Make some sense to me.
One other hitter from the past (I believe) was Larry Nelson...who learned to play in the military if memory serves.
