This video is unique in that it provides 4 different views of the Rotary Hitter Golf Swing in action - Face on, down the line, from the rear and up the line. It also goes in depth explaining the differences between the Rotary Hitter and Rotary Swinger. It discusses how and why the takeaway is not as inside and shut as it is in the Rotary Swing and how this aids in releasing the golf club through impact for speed for the Hitter. It also discusses the top of the swing position and the dynamics at the top of the swing. Chuck Quinton's swing is used as he commentates about the transition he has been making to a Rotary Hitter.

The question for many, apart from the technical differences of the swing, what are the philosophical differences in the swing? Or, more importantly, which one is right for me? In a nutshell, you should go off two things. First, what do you already do naturally in your golf swing? Do you tend to get your arms out in front of your body and have your shoulders more shut than open at impact? That is a significant determinant factor as the impact dynamics are more difficult to change for most golfers. The second thing is what do you like to feel in your golf swing? Do you like to feel more of a hit with the body or do you like the feel of releasing the club with the hands through impact? If you like the feeling of hitting hard with the body and torso, learning the Swinger fundamentals is best. If you like the feeling of using your arms and hands for speed, then the Hitter route can be best. Either way, you will learn some more of the intricate differences such as clubface angle and shaft plane in detail in this video.

Note the position at the top of the swing of the Rotary Hitter is nearly identical to the number one player in the world, Tiger Woods.
