Do you mean the greatest clubhead speed? That's an interesting question. I have read that the max velo happens before Impact even in the best swings. With all the tech available today, it seems like we should know for sure. Woods does it with hip rotation and shoulder thrust.
What is your reference to mass about? I think that if you could model Woods with a stick man made of titanium, weighing say 30 lbs, and it's hips and right shoulder, etc. moved just like Woods, the ball would go the same distance.

MizunoJoe,
Acceleration is a little different than velocity or speed. 8-9 SECTON 9, for example, is listed as the period of Clubhead Acceleration.
Now... HIP SPEED is another topic. That is interesting. I have heard that the fastest that the hips can turn is something like 7 MPH or so. So... how much does this actually contribute to one's CLUBHEAD SPEED?
