When he related Jack Nicklaus' compliment, he was uncocking and rolling his hands - very quickly.
To him , handspeed was the sequenced release of the swinger - uncock and roll.
That said, I agree with you on the role of the upper arm but I still do not completely understand its role in producing clubheadspeed thus have not began isolating them in training yet. I will be most keen to share once I reach a conclusion.
One thing that stuck in my mind about Sean was the size of his Extensor carpi radialis longus and his Pronator teres. They resembled sausages.
There is a rhythm to centrifugal force- trying to make it go faster really isn't a viable option. Training "just" the muscles below the elbow- doesn't make any sense at all. Finally, could you identify the research that says the body only provides 10% and also that the transferring of the weight only 2% because both of those "facts" are much like training the muscles just below the elbow- they don't take into account the entire context of the movement. Anotherwords- if I didn't transfer my weight and hit off my back foot- I really wouldn't lose any power?

Sure thing Mike...check your email.
As mentioned, I don't fully comprehend all there is about speed generation.
So far what I have been doing is working very nicely for me. Hope you can link and sort everything out for me in reference to TGM.

I reference my own post...
I have submitted the said research to my friend Mike O and Toolish for review.
With their permission, I will post their comments about it. I am not sure I can post the article sent to them because of intellectual property etc.
As mentioned to them, I stand ready to be corrected in the face of evidence disproving what I sent them. I am here to learn as much as the rest.
Though I may not have all the answers, one thing I know is that once I was short, now I am long doing "my" forearm exercises.
One theory that I proposed to Mike is a possible "spillover" effect of my forearm exercises to my upper arms and torso. Not so sure about that...I will post some pictures of the exercises soon.
Thanks to any that will chime in and offer more insights.
