So quitting 1" to soon will reduce Clubhead Speed.
Why is it that people play the ball back in their stance?

Daryl,
No need to apologise for butting in, in fact I am the one who threadjacked this in the first place!
Why do you think how far the hips travels is more important than speed? Not that I necessarily agree or disagree, just wondering where that comes from. Also, what role (if any) do you think that pivot braking plays in all of this? It seems to me, that to maximize the effectiveness of the pivot, the hips have to move a certain distance and a certain speed, with maximum speed being attained at a certain point....and with the hips slowing down and transferring their momentum to the shoulders at a certain rate and at a certain point...agree or disagree?
