Instead, the Right Shoulder serves only as the Launching Pad for the Acceleration of the Right Arm (and not the Left). Therefore, while it may well provide Motion during the Stroke, it is not considered a fourth source of Power.

Is it possible to distinguish a 4 barrel hitting stroke from a 3 barrel hitting stroke visually?

I think so, Bucket.

Visualize, for example, a Mid-Iron Punch Shot versus a Full Power Shot of the same Club.
