The Hands aren't always accelerating. Once they reach their Max Speed (for the shot) they continue at that speed. The Downstroke Acceleration Sequence is outlined below.

Bold and font color choice by Daryl.

8-7 SECTION 7 – START DOWN Strictly speaking, the next six Sections are all just divisions of the Downstroke for pinpointing interim locations. This Section starts with the initial move toward Impact – the period of Shoulder Acceleration (or its equivalent – 2-H) and continues until the motion settles into its Delivery Line Path (7-23).

8-8 SECTION 8 – DOWNSTROKE This Section covers the interval between completion of the Start Down, with the Stroke settled into its Delivery Line course, until “Release” point. This is the period of Hand Acceleration.

8-9 SECTION 9 – RELEASE This Section starts at the point of Release “Trigger” and continues until Impact – the period of Clubhead Acceleration. See 8-8 above.
