Sometimes I find it hard to lable golf swing "things"
But
I would put "flick" outside of swing or hit so it can be labled as its own motion.
My definitions (just mine- dont get angry)
1- swing- complete pull in a rotary motion with the primary lever thrown out by cf- the pivot moves the lever out and down on plane.
2.- hitting - completely drive where linear force moves the primary lever out and down and the pivot creates the rotary motion.
NEITHER act to move the secondary lever- I bet that comment creates confusion.
3. - "FLICKING" any stroke where the secondary assembly is moved through impact by muscle force. If the force was used at top or end it would be casting but if the stroke is short/powerfull or long/slow a deliberate muscle through impact to get/keep the rhythm may be FLICKING.
Just my opinion.
PS. the only comment/problem I see with "Plyometrics" is the defining explosive application of force- which may make it a "quick and jerky movement". But I do agree with the occasion for smooth introduction of forces.

At one extreme you can "cycle" a golf swing with very even application of force - or you can "run" a golf swing with a lot of plyo. I guess most good golfers are covering the middle ground.

sorry about my plyo ps. I think U are very correct. I should have said -plyo application to flicking. The swinger is/may be in very much the plyo mode at start down as an example. I was thinking the "flick" mode 10-19-B. I will dare to comment further. There are all these strokes golfers use where the loading is not sufficient to produce a release by "normal physics" (thats new huh?) so the club must be "upset" (not a great word- maybe assisted around is better) I think HK was thinking this way when he mentioned EA to power stroke. Putting may be an example, a BAT stroke may be an example.
What I do may be similar to what others are doing, only we're not describing it the same way. I think some plyo-ish action is bound to happen with a "straight line" delivery path. I don't believe there is such a thing as a straight hand path anywhere in the golf stroke but there can nevertheless be a sharp corner to turn at the end of that "line". And this quick turn will produce slowdown of the grip end of the club, ref the endless belt effect. And resisting and overcoming that slowdown will have plyometric qualities..... I think
