thanks in advance for any clarification!

Clubhead and shaft are like a weight on a string . . .

You can PULL a rope BUT you CAN'T PUSH it. That's the difference. Basically anyway. But if you intend to dive into the deep end of the pool.

There are CONSIDERABLE differences in the techiques of Rope Handle (Swinging) vs. Axe Handle (Hitting)

Primarily they are as follows:

Nature of Hand Acceleration
Transfer of Momentum
Inherent Hinging required
Wrist Action
Pressure Points to be Loaded

If you want to take the dive . . . I'm tredding water out there with the floatees and I'm sure many others are ready to jump in as well.

Take it as deep as you wish . . . jump when ready.
