My understanding the Pivot though it doesn't generate the power, it can amplifly the power that is generated. .....
Martee,

What I think we have here is basic difference in terminology. In a physics sense "What powers the swing" is the legs. Eg. what does the work to power up the rotor. In a golfing sense of "Boy that's a powerful swing" it is mostly techique - power accumulators, alignments - that produce high clubhead speed by harnessing the momentum of the body via the Golfers Flail. Utmost importance must be placed oupon techinique. Almost everyone is capable, assuming the technique is in place, of turning fast enough to propel a golf ball a long way.
