Aren't the hands actually moving slower than the clubhead though because they are gradually rotating as they move into impact and through to the follow through postion.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that the hands travel a much shorter distance than the clubhead from the parallel to the base line on the downswing(Mac's P5) position through follow through.

That being said hand speed would be considerably slower than clubhead speed. Correct???

So well it may be easier to measure clubhead speed, the hitter should work on increasing hand speed.

When hitting, we don't have the luxury that those outcasts in the other emergency room have. Since they don't have the brute force that we hitters have, they have to use a small pulley wheel to accelerate the club (snap release) or have faster hand speed and a larger pulley wheel. A hitter has to resist deceleration. We are driving the entire primary lever system by unloading the secondary lever system.
Even a hitter has some #3, and some #2 which are being simultaneously released, so yes the hands are going slower. But, most poor players have the false feel of clubhead speed and slow the hands to increase the speed of the clubhead. (bent left wrist = shorter primary lever, less mass, faster clubhead but less kinetic energy) The feel of faster hands has to be conveyed if someone's trying to hit or the feeling of pushing the middle (handle/grip) of the primary lever system forward, or hitting will be out of the question.
The snap release in swinging will always be mistaken for wrist bend by the masses.
