hmmm, i need to ponder this, but i'm not sure that is really what we're doing...i'm not sure it's that complex...i think we're applying forces to the clubhandle using different muscles in sequence to accelerate it and therefore the clubhead that's attached to it...hopefully this is in a direction that when the clubhead impacts the ball it will make the ball go to the target...
