in looking at the leslie king thread there is debate between all arms, all body, or body and hands swings. So basically we have three options. This is what I believe to understand which most modern golf instruction books did not teach me, but when I read books on the issue I did not understand. I met with an instructor who had to explain it to me in person and then from there I could do some research much easier. But in the next ten years the golf world will better understand the most effecient way to swing a club and maximize its power with minimizing its/our efforts. There are people in the know, like G1/cmays from here, mandrin from another site, ,a couple from mike austins site and many before them that when "science" catches up they will be sitting at the finish line sipping their drinks and saying, we been waiting for you, what took you so long. 
Mike austin knew it, snead did it, payne stewart, etc.....
This is how I understand it, if a person use all body or all arms they are not maximizing kinetic energy. in the golf swing you have three main levers. the shoulders are a lever to the arms, which are a lever to the wrists/clubshaft/clubhead
the objective in maximizing kinetic energy is when one motion stops, then and only then does it send all the energy to the next motion. for instance, if you look at mike austins swing which is the longest in history, you will see how his body stops moving before he hits the ball. this is because in the downswing the shoulders move first and when they stop moving they can transfer all their kinectic energy to the arms. But if the shoulders kept on moving then they would be keeping some of the kinetic energy in them, it takes energy to move the shoulder, and therefore would not have transfered all their energy to the arms, but only a part of it. the energy used to keep the shoulders in motion could have beeen given to the arms, but since it did not transfer all the energy then the swing is not as effecient as possible.
so basically I am saying that if you use all arms then you are not using potential kinetic energy from the shoulders. ANd if you keep turning the body through the shot then you have not transferred all the kinetic energy to the arms and hands. law of motion, an object in motion stays in motion, unless, it has transfered all its energy into another object
Also, I worked with a quantam physicists who studies how things fire in the brain and how reaction time takes to long for much to be corrected in the golf swing from the moment it is initieated. His studies showed that trying to think during the swing was basically futile. SO the objectve was to change the intention of what you want the body and club to do during the swing but you cannot think about it, cause it wont really change a thing.
any questions feel free, for me this was some hard stuff to learn, big terms like kinetic energy took me about four days of thinking to understand exactly how it related to the golf swing. I am not as well versed as many others, that is for sure. . seek out people who know about these things, it might be interesting what you learn
But on MY journey of this golf swing thing this is where I am at now. after researching varius other ways that did not work for me . In realizing these concepts are hard to explain on the computer this is why I am not on here much anymore, it is very hard for me to put things into words, things like this. Can I hit the ball better with this knowledge, yes, but I also am at a point where I dont put much time or effort into golf, cause for me it used to be agonizing and a obsession to figure out. Now it is just a little hobby.
good luck in the search
