I'll buy new clubs with extra flexible shafts to get that added "Kick" the shaft will supply as I stop moving my hands to allow the shaft to take over through impact. Hmm? Or I can change to a Hitting stroke pattern.
I would have thought so too, and if only a good shaft fitting were that simple, but I probably should have added:

Wishon, "The Search for the Perfect Golf Club", 2005
Chapter 4 Myths-
Myth #3 - "The third myth to bury is that the forward flexing of the shaft just before impact (which some people mistakenly call "buggy-whipping" or "kicking") increases the speed of the clubhead"......

I started this thread by saying I'm much more up on clubfitting than TGM (trying to change that) and that is probably evident in my posts, but I think there's opportunity for incorporating concepts from both to increase one's ability to teach and/or learn to play this game.
