I think everyone agrees that there is a 'throw-out' action, #2 accumulator. I agree with the Throw-out action because in one of my Previous Lives, I was a Chinese Peasant who spent a lifetime beating Rice out of their Stalks with a flail (the nightmares still haunt me, my boss was sooo demanding). So I know a little about 'throw-out' and it has occurred on one or more occasions when I've held a Golf Club in my uneducated hands.

So? Is this thread about the cause of the 'throw-out'? If I'm hanging on to the club, and my body is rotating and me and the clubhead are being acted on by centrifugal/centripetal forces, then where else is the clubhead going to go?

Also, if we keep Calling it Centrifugal Force, and someday we discover that CF is not real, will we only be able to drive the ball 50 yards? I'm not willing to take that risk.
