That is a misconception. A common flail (with a thong) definitely shows turn and roll. The golfer's flail is "only somewhat flail-like" (because of the way the hinge pin works). But even the golfer's flail can Cock and Uncock and Turn and Roll (2-K). Study pictures 2-K #4 and #5: They both represent the golfer's flail.

PA #2 may precede PA #3 or not (Sequenced Release vs. Simultaneous Release). But PA #3 may not precede PA #2.

PA #2 does not cause PA #3. Nor does it release PA #3.

The idea is that more force is applied to the ball when it is struck with an object that is still accelerating at Impact, rather than with an object that - although moving with speed - has already stopped to accelerate. That applies to all Power Accumulators. So, for maximum power, no Power Accumulator should be fully expended before Impact.
