Hitter--

Is Michael Campbell a hitter?it seems to me his quick action looks like hitting.Any thoughts.

He stikes me as a hitter.

I say swinger...however Jason Gore has a REALLY NICE hitting stroke. Too bad for him today though

Yes- i agree about Gore,a pure hitter.But i think Campbell may also hit,although not 100% sure.

Did you hear, Campbell set up shop at Pine Needles to worked on his short game and re-do his putting stroke?

Pine Needles, Pine Needles, why does that sound familiar?

Must have been some Yoda still lingering in the air with the sweet smell of Pine Needles.

No doubt that both Campbell and Gore are machines

Both have exceptional flying wedges and maintain them very well on all of their solid shots.

Excellent support of impact. Top notch alignments and impact that has MASS.

Yes i think Campbell uses both strokes as do most players. Most people don't realize that most tour players use a TYPE of the hitting stroke on almost every short game shot as well as their "punch" shots.

Short game Hitters abound on the PGA. And although untaught by TGM, it is a good feeling that the thrust of the Right Arm is tour tested. Homer was a keen observer.

I think he is a world class "switter"

That is a false and inaccurate assumption. Most people on these forums DO know they hit with their short games. Even at the ranges, I've overheard instructors, who give lots of pop-instruction advice, talk about right arm thrust with pitches and chips.

I'm not saying people on this forum don't, i'm just saying in general people don't realize the tour players "punch swings" that they comment about on TV is a different type of stroke.
