No, but you have a good start. More important- do you have fast core speed or are you strong?
Swingers live and die but the pivot throw-out of the clubhead. A Pull. A whirl of the clubhead rolling on the base line. The left hand roll of accumalator #3 (look it up) as the left wrist uncocks and sqaures along the base line- returning the turned left hand (standard wrist action- check the archives) to its impact alignment. This is what separates swingers from hitters. Hitters keep the clubface sqaure to the base line because they employ a single left wrist action where the hand has not turned itself on plane- its that frozen feel of their impact fix position. Both swingers and hitters have a right arm that straightens. A hitter's right arm straighten is the muscle power- an action. The swingers straighten left arm is a motion- not a power source, although it will feel like one since PP#3 is at the end of it. PP#3 behind the shaft is a battering ram either by the muscle source (hitter) or pivot lag (swinger).
If you want to be a Hitter, learn a hitter's pivot and drive the entire club- shaft and clubhead into the ball. Study the Geometry of the Circle (it’s in here) and power accumulators. If you have no core speed but are strong- Hit. If you are quick- Swing.
