That means you disagree with

That discussion is from 2006, the video I posted is from last yr. I watched him quite a while on the range at the 2001 US Open and he was Swinging back then. I seriously doubt he switched from Swinging in 2001 to Hitting in 2006 and then back again.

At any rate, it is very clear that he is spinning the flywheel in the 2010 video.

I'm no expert, so you may be right. for all I (don't) know The only thing that struck me is that he has always been mentioned among hitters..

air,

I'm not making that claim from the "expert" angle. Some things don't require an expert level to see. His Swing is rather compact, which may give the impression of Hitting.

That's ok by me. I'm trying to be a swinger myself, so it would nice to have him as a model.

I think he hits,but can change to swing when needs length and possibly height IMO.
To me his shoulder height hands at top says he hits along with angle of clubface to plane angle.
But when he stretches he changes to swing,im no expert by a mile,its just the way i see it

sorry about 2 post for pics

You can Angle Hinge Swing!

This definitive video will help you analyze Appleby! Note, in particular, his description of the right shoulder spinning the flywheel and starting down "rather quickly" in a Swinging pattern.

hmm a while since I posted last...

Anyway my avatar pic shows that Apples uses angled hinging (at least on that particular swing ). Angled hinging is mainly asociated with hitting and therefore most people consider Stuart a hitter. If I remember correct, his swing coach has some TGM-knowledge as well...

I'm no expert at swing analyzing what so ever!

No, it's pretty clear that he is a Turned Shoulder Plane Swinger

To my highly untrianed eye, it looks like his right arm blasts off in the video. But, you'd have to ask him.

Freeze it at :09 - the right shoulder appears to me to be continuing to drive down-plane at that point and beyond. If so, and he fires the right tricep there as you suggest, he would have to be Switting.
