Yes, I understand you. And I understand Homer.

However, what Homer said is true only if you are not strong or for couch-potatoes. The way I analyze it, the stronger you become, that false sense of power Homer pointed out will translate to reality. As you go stronger, the Clubhead speed becomes faster. In fact, there is no limit. The limit of your Strength is the same limit of your Clubhead speed. They're directly proportional to each other. And the bonus is, accuracy or the ClubFACE isn't affected. Why?

Well, relying on PA3 as Rotational Power is much much much more accurate because the ClubHead is coming more from a shallow Angle of Attack/Approach. Cleaner strike, more chance of hitting the ball with the Sweetspot. With PA2 Velocity Power, the Clubhead is coming more from the sky with a steeper AoA. With the lofts on the ClubFace, this makes hitting the ball with the Sweetspot substantially harder.

For a couch potato with no athletic ability yet, PA2 Velocity Power is an excellent option because it provides the most potential Clubhead speed out of the existing strength (or lack of it) of the golfer. Also, this maximum potential Clubhead speed can be accessed and poured out more easily. Why? Because, as you said, this is easier to Release. That Snap Release let that potential power out very easily.

However, for Accuracy, it is HARD. That is why Chipping and Putting is done on a flat and shallow AoA. Try Chipping and Putting with a more Vertical or Steep AoA and add PA2 and what I am saying can easily be understood.

For Hogan, who is very strong, his accuracy explains/proves this---the feasibility of PA3 Rotational Power accompanied by a strong and fast Pivot is another excellent way to swing that darn club.

So I propose or putting forward that a Power Package Combination of PA4/PA3/PA2 is possible for a Swinger. Maybe it is time for amateur golfers to be more consistent and accurate?...
