Jack (at least in his prime) was a snap loader - right?

Yup, that's why he stressed the shaft so hard.
Which is also, by the way, another MAJOR FACTOR IN FITTING! Which is often overlooked by many so called "professional fitters."
They may not know what snap, sweep, or random loading is but they can watch the swing and know how the shaft is reacting from the swing and fit accordingly.

Just remember, everybody, that there is a difference between when the Shaft is loaded and how the Shaft is Loaded. In Pivot Strokes -- Hitting or Swinging -- the Shaft is Loaded by the Pivot. This is true whether the Player's intent is to Drive the Club through Impact (Hitting) or Drag it through Impact (Swinging).
When Hitting, the Hands stop at Top (Right Shoulder High and On Plane) and "resist the Backstroke Motion" (7-19-1) as the Hip Action initiates the Downstroke. When Swinging, the Hands typically proceed to the End (beyond the Top) and, again, the Body Turn (Pivot) -- not the Hands -- "throws the Club against the Lag Pressure Point at The Top for Drag Loading" (7-19-3). If you think this last insight is huge...

Then what is the difference between 3 barrel hitting and 4 barrel hitting?

The Four-Barrel Hitting Stroke occurs when the Right Shoulder participates actively as Shoulder Acceleration in the Start Down. This participation must be Action -- driving the Clubhead Inertia -- not merely accomodative Motion.
