Don't assume that you are a hitter on the basis of a single component!

The "single wrist action" where the clubface is effectively held in a more closed position and there is no turning of the clubface to the inclined plane by the forearms... is advised for the hitter... but does not define a hitter... you could be a swinger who is using single wrist action!

The manner in whihc you stress the shaft ( lag loading) and the role ( active or passive) of the right triceps/elbow are the teatures which define a hitter. All of the other components which are suited to hitting are secondary to these features because they make it work better that way... but they are not definitive. So angled hinge, single wrist action, punch elbow position etc are all secondary hitting features.

How do you load the lag and how much do you use the right triceps?

But if you're using horizontal hingeing-with single wrist action the clubface would not be closed.
