Why is thrust and "heavy" more important than speed and "dainty"?

Be the Gentle Giant!
Thrust: Keep it high -- or at least decided and definite -- to be
sure of the
sustained Lag through Impact. Shorten the Stroke if necessary.
Heavy: Sense the Inertia of the additive
Effective Mass of the Clubhead (2-M-1).
Speed: You must have it, and you 'gotta love it!' But not at the expense of Stroke Radius and Clubface Control, e.g., by throwing the Clubhead past a Bending Left Wrist through Impact.
Never Dainty: Stay in control. Even in Putts: Don't 'peck.' Instead,
Drive to Both Arms Straight!
