Moe Norman hitter or swinger?I am so confused

[duckhook]

Hello everyone

I have read many posts about who in professional golf is a hitter and who is a swinger. Recently I decided to study Moe Norman. I found several very informative videos on youtube where Moe himself describes his unique golf swing.To my surprise and astonishment I found 2 videos in which he completely contradicts himself when he was asked where his power comes from.

at approximately the 5min40sec mark he clearly says it's his right hand.

at about the 1min55sec mark he talks about pulling hard with his left side and the right hand doing nothing. I am astonished to hear this contradiction from Moe himself. I would like to hear your thoughts on this.

He used both his left and right side. Got his power from his pivot. I don't think he was very long(I could be wrong), just extremely accurate and hit the ball straight all day long.

I've personally watched him hit a couple thousand balls from the time I was 8 until the last time I saw him in person at around 30 years old. I taped the last time I saw him on Super 8. I need to get it transfered to digital, so I can share it with you all. It is worth watching.

Moe rattled on about a bunch of impossible things.

"Hoo, Hooooo....surrrrre....Me and Hogan..."

The only thing you could count on was the next perfect shot.

He was long enough. I'd guess his clubhead speed to be 100 or so when he was in his late 60's. That's pretty friggin good. Oh yeah, and he wasn't seeing his trainer everyday either. He hit is so well that it maxed out any possible limits for his speed.

He used a lot of right arm thrust. That was more evident with Moe than other good strikers like Knudson. I bet he would have been a great log splitter.

in his setup he completely zeroed out #3. His hinge action etc tells me he was a swinger. (disregarding the fact that most golfers do both) but classifying him according to tgm I would put him down as a swinger.
