Maximum Swing Radius And Maximum Power

For Maximum Power, the Swing Radius must extend from the Sweetspot to the Feet.

Interestingly, throwing the Club past a Bending Left Wrist can result in an increase in Clubhead Speed (due to the Law of Conservation of Angular Momentum). However, the shortened Radius -- it now ends at the Wrist -- decreases Effective Clubhead Mass (Length of Lever / 2-M-2).

Also, the Bending Wrist procedure forfeits Body Momentum Transfer and its resistance to Release and Impact Deceleration. Hence, Post-Impact (Ball Separation) Clubhead Speed -- and ultimate Ball Speed -- is in jeopardy.

Finally, without the Flat Left Wrist, there can be no Hinge Action. And without Hinge Action, precision Clubface and Ball Control evaporates.
