Maybe I am losing power and speed in Hand Acceleration because I am pulling so hard? I've begun to research "Hand Acceleration."

When swinging, I'm still amazed at the acceleration of the club head without muscular effort. And the difference between sweep release and snap release is quite perceptible though the difference in ground speed may only be a few MPH. Only recently, I admit, I've come to understand that applying even the slightest muscular force to the club shaft will hamper the acceleration produced by CF. Specifically, the point at which I would begin to apply muscular effort is the point at which CF acceleration alone stops. What surprises me most is when the hands pass the line of sight to the ball the club head seems to pick up tremendous speed. All of this without perceived effort and without hand acceleration. Horizontal Hinging with CF is quite the combination.

This has eluded me for many years. A lot of components in my swing have had to change. Plane line tracing became easy and almost natural.

CF is a powerful force. I don't have the knowledge to debate CF, but I do have the knowledge to harness it. Call the force whatever you want. HK chose CF and I've come to understand what he meant. And, my Golfing is much the better for it.

So the next time I'm on the range, I'll go to Acquired Motion with Extensor action, dragging my hands horizontally, not lifting and then simply step left. everything about this game is so counter-intuitive that I would not be shocked to discover how less effort creates more speed.
