OK let's test a few things here. The following notions are solely based upon Swinging.

Why would anyone want to take slack out of the machine? Hmmm could it be so that efficient transfer of motion can occur between lower and upper body? The rotation of the lower body can be the driver for upper body rotation. Hopefully everyone understood my previous rear wheel drive comment in this thread. Lower body rotation is the source of power for almost all tour pros. Observe the relative openness of hips to shoulders at impact. Note the relative openness of torso to the target line. Edit: Do not be fooled by the relatively square impact shoulders. End edit . And if anyone believes that upper body effort produces this effect, think of the 60s dance craze "The Twist". In a slight modification, stretch your arms out and rotate them horizontally. Note the tendency for opposite spin of the hips.

Just because the lower body feels stable does not mean that it is not a primary power source. In fact it should feel exactly the as the Pivot must be completely trained and absolutely controlled. Proper technique is what allows a controlled (and seemingly effortless) lower body rotation to propel the ball a long way.
