I think he was trying to describe this "transitional" phase of the swing. It seems to be more obvious with the Float Loaders, but you can see something similar in players like Hogan, and Gary Player. David Lee(Gravity Golf), called this 2:1 timing, where the weight moves over and back, before the backswing is finished.

For Swingers... this is part of the #4 Accumulator loading.
Reminds me of Mike Austin's quote "I keep my head steady and I swing my hips. Like a pendulum."

Basically the essence of a snap release via serious float loading, such that you load and unload at very nearly the same time (cracking the whip at your aiming point). It can be helpful to user mid-body hands at address if using this approach, especially as a swinger.

It almost 'feels' like the grip end is starting to unload as the shaft and clubhead are still loading, just like a cracking whip.
