The thread you linked to HB certainly sustains the line of confusion.

And the rope - the left arm pulling - carries linear force and centripetal force for hitters and swingers.

I think I see your main point. I also think it is well covered by HK. as "LAG". and by YODA. "Drag That Wet Mop" and by many a pro who will tell you they "hit real hard through impact". The club rotates about the hands, after trigger, and the hands clamp the shaft (in a perfect pinned joint if possible) providing centripital force BUT the hands have an on plane speed which takes effort to maintain. That effort is key.

Thats my interpretation of your interpretation of HK interpretation of Newtons interpretation. (Chain reaction producing great speed.)
