Can't push a rope- how many times have we been told that, 12 bucket.

A rope is pulled to whirl the end, the payload, the clubhead. It uses a throw-out CF.

An axe handle, that's is the whole wooden shaft that the ax head is attached on to- in our case the golf shaft with a clubhead is slamed. Pushed. When you clean a rug on a clothes line- you slam it with the whole stick, not just the tip.

Hitters push to hit with the whole club.
Swingers pull- to whirl the tip, the clubhead.
