Has any of SandTrappers heard the term 'Swinger' or 'Roller'?

I was in range yesterday and one of instructor mentioned them. He didn't go specifically what they are or what distinguish them. Just curious if anyone from here heard the terminology and know meanings.

Thanks.

Swinger and Hitter are TGM classifications.

The only "rolling" I can think of is someone who rolls their wrists (forearms) through impact. You can have a turned left wrist or a rolled left wrist in TGM terms.

Or maybe he was talking about wife swapping and gambling.

Thank you iacas.
Yes it was Swinger vs Hitter , as you pointed out.
What're the main differences? Pro & Con for each?

Thank you iacas.

Heh, there's a whole book written about that kind of stuff.

Basically, a swinger uses his left arm, a hitter uses his right arm (both for a righty golfer). But there's a LOT more to it than that.
