For a force to be efficiently applied, it must be geometrically-aligned. And, in the Efficient Golf Stroke, it is the Hands that sense and execute the required alignments.

In that context, your adjective 'Hands-driven' would work, particularly in terms of the #3 Pressure Point (Right Hand forefinger) metering out Clubhead Acceleration Rate and Direction per 2-M-2-1 and 1-L-B.

Alternatively, the term 'Hands-directed' would remove any implied Power emphasis other than their assignment of directing -- not originating -- the Thrust (via the Aiming of the #3 Pressure Point per 6-C-2-A and 6-E-2).

Finally, 'Hands-aligned' might get the job done best of all. In addition to the above concepts, it also accomodates (1) Left Wrist Action as Clubhead Control prior to Impact (Turning and Rolling and Cocking and Uncocking per 10-18 ); (2) Left Wrist Hinge Action as Clubface Control during Impact and Follow-Through (Vertical Left Wrist Action per 2-G and 7-10); and (3) Right Forearm and #3 Pressure Point Plane Line Tracing as Clubshaft Control throughout the Stroke (2-F, 5-0 and 7-3).
