I agree again, the whole package as explained by yourself.
The only reason i keyed on "shaft" part was to try and get away from the common pop-instruction advice of "swingggg the cludhead".......or....."feeeeeel the clubhead"...etc etc....which in my opinion is only going to have one outcome...casting, throwing etc.
If you try and swing the whole shaft (including of course the clubhead...and the forearm as stated by yourself )....then casting, throwing is eliminated.
I knew that was where you were coming from, rave154, I just wanted to lay it all out there. And I agree completely with your position that those who focus on the Clubhead -- unless it is done in exactly the right way -- have much to lose and little to gain.
I am particularly concerned when I hear and read one very famous 'top five' instructor recommending that you focus on hitting the Ball with "the head of your instrument."
Bucket...do not go there!
Suffice it to say that this is exactly opposite of what is taught in The Golfing Machine. The good player hits the Ball with the Pressure Points in his Hands, not with the Clubhead. He drives his Hands toward the Ball, and the Club reacts as it must.
The poor player already attempts to hit the Ball with the Clubhead. That's why he's a poor player! In his futile attempt to "hit the ball with the head of his instrument," he invariably attempts to Steer the Clubhead towards the Target (instead of driving his Lag Pressure-Loaded Hands toward the Plane Line). And he does this by Throwing the Clubhead past his Bending Left Wrist and Quitting Hands.
