I'm interested since I'm hitting the ball well now. If I fire my arms to "Both Arms Straight" and get them farther ahead of the ball, shouldn't I enjoy greater distance given a closer right shoulder? But JB says he Swings so my theory is not settled.

That sounds like 4-barrel Hitting - drive the right shoulder partially downplane and then fire the right triceps to uncock the left wrist before CF starts uncocking it. If you fire too late, you'd be a switter, and run outa town like a mangy dog.

I was going to buy a new driver at least but I cannot think of why I should put the Adam Red Line 9.5 with the senior shaft away.
I hit 13/13 drives in Regulation and the avg. was almost 240 yards. Would a "hotter" driver help?
8 GIR, 33 puts - 3 birdies. The Paul Runion putting and putting my chips had me all over the pin so that there was only two 3 putts on "14" stint greens. 5-one putt greens = 2 close chips for gimmies of less than a foot and two 8 footers= and one 40 foot bomb!
My real problem was not believing how solid the Hitting line is so I would fail to take dead aim mostly until the back and then I started pin-hunting. My last 3 nines were 40, 39 and 38.
Impact Fix +RFT + Right shoulder drive to right triceps + Runion techniques = 5 over par! I hit two holes with longish putts that lipped out. Next time-dead aim to the middle of all greens!

The shot may go farther when struck in the above manner for mid to low irons due to delofting. Radius and loft are the factors in distance .... the delofting stops working as you get into into the longer, less lofted clubs.

Look at the pics in the first post...grip type is a HUGE difference....also...fat jack BOMBED it.....hands forward ala Gainey vs. Nicklaus.....Players like Lee Buck/Gainey have to get the amount of shaft lean to have the face open enough so they don't hit it left of left....for mere mortals could be problematic....cats like Mac O'Grady Philly McGlennerd ....love the shaft lean but may air mail a green by hitting a 7 iron 210....it may look sexier .... but who's packin' the hardware???
nice...
is one better geometry than the other? does one have more power/physics

Depends on the player/shot at hand/preferences/grip type/all that trackman stuff/......lots of variables to manipulate.....
Would be interesting to see how much shaft lean the greats produced with say a 5 iron....a few ways to lean it too...lean AND raise the handle up...Lean it and don't...with the hands with the body or both...Hogan and Nicklaus didn't produce huge amounts of lean...one had lots of #2 to let out and the other one didn't...Lee Buck opposite end of spectrum...better get the right amount of lean to get the face open enough not to start the ball left.
So you can see the other side of the angle of attack is the angle of ascent....another strong gripper like Lee Buck is Couples but his "arc" is gonna be "shorter"...quicker rate of ascent...faster "recocking" through the ball...thus hits a higher ball...
