Hi Justin, thanks for posting the swing - I hope John doesn't mind us chatting about it.
Whilst I am not quite as "by the book" as Daryl it does appear that John has picked many components which are more compatible with swinging.
It seems that he has found a variation which is rarely discussed in TGM and to some extent contrary to convention...quite a rare beast...
In my profession (medicine) when patients come thinking that they have the most rare and bizarre disease...one usually finds that they have an unusual presentation of a more common disease rather than their preferred interpretation (ie. a typical variation of an extremely rare disease)!
I therefore naturally wonder whether John has an unusual right arm sensation whilst doing a typical "swing".....rather than an rare and unconventional version of "hit".
Does he state that he loads the shaft at "end" using drag loading and the uses active triceps thrust (his hitting/drive load) from a pitch position to add or sustain shaft bend through impact??
What hinge action does his motion naturally produce? horizontal or angled?
His feeling of triceps thrust from pitch - how does that differ from the extensor action that one can feel when you "swing" - could he just be using LOADS of extensor action - hence feeling like active thrust? If he uses massive pivot thrust..wounldn't he have to use an equally large amount of extensor action to maintain structure....so much extensor action that it could be misinterpreted as a hit??
John uses a Sequenced Release on the Elbow Plane from a Pitched Elbow Location.
From Top to End he Rolls his Right Wrist (Cocks) and so he uses a Clockwise Turn to Return the Shaft to Plane during his initial Startdown (Like Hogan and many other great Golfers).
The 4:30 Shaft Position at P3-Release results from the Cocked Right Wrist.
But my point, to be exact, is that he is not Hitting. He is Pulling the Clubshaft Lengthwise. He may use Right Triceps Muscle, etc. It may feel like a Push.
I'm not dissing this guy. I'm not looking for an argument. But he lacks a Structured Power Package and its Downstroke Acceleration Sequence. So he uses his Right Arm to Accelerate the Clubshaft but CF still Accelerates the Clubhead.
