lagster,

"WHERE IN THE SWING DO THE LONGEST HITTERS HAVE THE GREATEST ACCELERATION? How do they accomplish this?"

Do you mean the greatest clubhead speed? That's an interesting question. I have read that the max velo happens before Impact even in the best swings. With all the tech available today, it seems like we should know for sure. Woods does it with hip rotation and shoulder thrust.

What is your reference to mass about? I think that if you could model Woods with a stick man made of titanium, weighing say 30 lbs, and it's hips and right shoulder, etc. moved just like Woods, the ball would go the same distance.
