And, I have a certain charming type of a "John Wayne" type walk that make s me popular at red-neck bars and country line-dance lessons between NASCAR events.
You might want to play "12 Piece Bucket". Wow, I'm old or something. In 54 years I've never been to a Red-Neck Bar, had Country-Line Dancing Lessons or been to a NASCAR event. I've never seen country line dancing except on TV. Do people do that in Public? And someone teaches it? Hmm?

What are you some kinda commie or something? Spy alert . . code orange . .
Trying to think of an every day way to explain.
The Hurricane- a weather forcaster will always tell U that the winds on the right side of a moving hurricane are more dangerous because they are additive. The hurricane is spinning counter-clockwise with the wind speed constant relative to a center- the centripital force part so to say. BUT if the center- the eye of the hurricane (Golfers hands)-is moving in a linear direction (like the plane line)- the wind on the right side (club head) is moving at the constant velocity PLUS the speed of the eye hands. BUT since the energy of the hands was "sucked out" when the linear downstroke became circular more energy must be put in to keep the system moving forward LAG- "drag that mop" or - just quit with your hands and hang on and let the club coast around- most people do it that way- it can be made to look pretty good and you can now use all that energy to try and move the curved part faster- and you dont need much of a pivot because that moves the system- just flip it out there at the ball, and hang on.
I was trying for a little humor in the last lines-not funny but I try hard.

You guys down under-because your cyclones go the other way- "just transpose like the E-flat trumpet player" unless you are also a lefty.
Which reminds me- I/we have neglected coriolis effect- Go ahead I dare you!!
Only with City's help can we get from this post to line dancing in four easy posts. This might be some sort of record.
Daryl, if you're going to take up line dancing you'd better get outa those yoga stretch tights.......please.
What should I wear then? A cowboy hat and boots? This is why I don't line dance, frequent red neck bars or watch Nascar.
I went to a bachelor party in Atlantic city, last night, and it could not be avoided. It did give me time to think, while driving home, about Monitoring the FLW, whether swinging or hitting, on every shot!
By "putting my mind in my hands," I get to preview what the club face and therefore ball will do. No surprises. If I extend both arms straight in front of me at eye level and bend my right elbow to clap I can repeat the motion endlessly. (I can feel a conflation of threads coming on.)
So that is Drive loading, friend of hitters, switters and everyone else that punches the ball around the course.
Another benefit of drive loading is that with shorter clubs, you have the simplest golf swing amounting to a "point and shoot" mechanism with the club designed to clack into the ball and produce the beautiful ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ sound.
But with longer clubs, the line becomes blurred:
(OB quote from above)
Or you can separate them sequentially in your Downswing, which is what I do.....Drag then Drive . A Right Shoulder Throw (slow and easy one) which tends to Delay Release, followed by a Right Arm Throw which induces Release. You can go to End when doing this if you wish. But this isnt 12-1 anymore of course.
Now, the line is blurred for me, not for OB or Daryl or anyone else with mad TGM skills. I interpret this "Right Shoulder Throw" (RST) as a turning sternum or "shoulder up," or"spin the flywheel" move that is normally thought of as a swinging/switter move. But if I have been favored with a moment of lucidity after multiple "Pina Coladas" last night, the RST can be used by the hitter, slowly and deliberately, to aim and shoot as Lynn does in Alignment I.
So, now I want to make another guess about bio-mechanics and the three types of ball-striking (hit, swit, swing (HSS)). RFT/EA turns the back hip enough to set-up a good pass at the ball. Does slow RST turn the front hip by itself enough to enable HSS to happen automatically? Or, doe you still have to yell at your Pivot to "get a move on" prior to RST?
I hope I have partially repaired this fine thread.

Do they have cart service at Cuscowilla? Perhaps a Minty Julep? Or do we get permission for a cooler and BOOR (Bring our own refreshment)?
But to continue with this excellent post, I think I understand what BerntR has written above:
If the club were release without any application of linear force the clubhead would have the same swing speed as before, measured in MPH. The rotational speed would be reduced since the swing radius was increased. But this is only a hypothetical scenario. By the time of the release, the pivot and the hands already have worked themselves up to certain speeds. The golfers has no intentions of quitting, but rather to fight against the slowdown. So you push and pull hard. Linear forces delivered from both hands.
It is linear forces delivered through the hands that produces all the swing speed. The L in G.O.L.F. Centrifugal force and Centripetal force only optimises the geometrical conditions for an efficient linear thrust.
Even the purest of swings use linear force to produce speed. And even the most hardheaded hitter is "forced" to benefit from a significant amount of throwout and Centripetal force in the stroke.
And the rope - the left arm pulling - carries linear force and centripetal force for hitters and swingers.
So if I understand what BerntR has written, no one, save Deity (who uses Chaos Theory perhaps (though, it's only chaos to us) to golf his ball, planets, sub-atomic particles, butterflies and earthquakes in forests with falling trees that no one hears), can simply pull with their left hand and generate sufficient force or precision to G.O.L.F.
A sound golf swing (hit, swit, swing (HSS)) ALWAYS NEEDS A PIVOT, LINEAR LEFTHAND PULL, AND RIGHT HAND PUSH. ACHTUNG!!
PIVOT, PULL, PUSH.
Now, I believe this is what JerryG was trying to say:
City,
I'm kind of a simpleton and have barely noticed what I am actually doing. I am trying to keep my weight over my left hip/leg/foot, turn back, then as my hands start down I drive my right hip, shoulder and arm and Push through the ball.
For me, it has been a long time since I have been this excited to play.
My problem has been that when I'm on my left side, unlike most people, I haven't begun to Pivot or pull, BUT WHEN I PULL, I HAVE TO PIVOT AND THEN I SHOULD PUSH. What are the TGM more technical designations? I'm not sure.
But I'm sure Jerry G is not simple. Like Kevin and most all of us here, he is highly reflective, which is way cool.
I'm also sure of Daryl's advice to slightly "take up the slack" of my left leg by bending my right knee a bit, like hitting down hill, makes sense. PIVOT, PULL, AND PUSH! For most people with normal bio-mechanics, pivoting is essentially pulling to their front. For me,pulling is pivoting always downhill, so I could be adding a push for HSS.
That PIVOT, PULL, PUSH is the feeling I have on my most successful passes with any club. Only with TGM terms, am I able to learn how to do it continuously.
