A quicker shoulder turn through the ball however will increase clubhead speed.

Interesting observation above....
Let's checkout what a GSED has to say...
GI: And what about everything else; feet, knees, shoulders, hands, wrists?
Tomasello: All these body parts move, of course, but only in response to the up-and-down force of the right forearm and the outward force of the hip rotation. Your shoulders, for example, turn only because your hips have turned. There is no "tension" or "seperation" of the hips and shoulders."
So who are you going to believe?
Hips move in response to the right forearm...then lead and power the Downstroke Shoulder Turn. Per 10-15-B.
