where club head speed comes from

Re: where club head speed comes from

Further to my explanation on how to generate speed with the hands and arms in the one plane swing is the way the trail arm uses a piston type action, retracting in the backswing then pushing through with power in the downswing. Instead of body twisting or turning to create power you can produce a power source by extending or pistoning your trail arm to deliver a powerful strike into the ball. This differs from the two plane cupped trail wrist at impact.

These pictures show a classic action on how the trail arm and wrist can create a powerful piston like force into the ball.

Brian:

This is a great picture and a great illustration of a one plane release. As a one planer myself I found that this piston action with the trailing arm has increased my distance. It is almost like a baseball swing while being bent over. Using this release while turning around a bent over spine angle is really has really been agood thing for me. Your explanation make me feel I am on the right track.
