I prefer to think about Left Wrist speed rather than hand speed. The LW speed must be matched to the pulley size. The bigger the pulley, the further the butt of the club travels in the pulley section which requires the LW to move faster in order to stay ahead of it and to keep it from backing up. For the biggest pulley, the LW speed is determined by how fast you can rotate. This is how Woods generates so much speed. This is what Homer is talking about when he talks about a fast start down from the top with the LW throw.
The alternative is to minimize the pulley section and the LW speed required, so that the snap into the pulley section produces a lot of clubhead travel with a small amount of butt end travel in a short amount of time. This does not required a fast start down from the top. You can deliberately drive the club butt first longitudinally to a deep release point and then provide the LW speed required to match the small pulley.
