I look forward to your capsule summary. I hope that you will address the following issue in particular.

You stated-: "Of course, the same thing is happening with the Right Arm: It is being Pulled by the Body, its rotation and the ultimating Centrifugal Force. But, it is easy for the player's Right Hand to mistake this Pull - against the Lag Pressure it generates -- as a Push."

If I understand you correctly, Hogan had a body-generated swinger's action, whereby the downswing pivot action essentially provides the swing power. I envisage the downswing pivot action pulling the entire power package assembly (left and right arm flying wedges) at the start of the downswing, so that the right arm/forearm merely has to supply sufficient isometric muscle force to maintain the right arm flying wedge intact during the early/mid downswing. Then, when power accumulator #4 and then #2 release, the right arm/forearm needs to supply enough muscle force to maintain the constantly bent right wrist/right hand firmly against the grip/left thumb so that the golfer can provide constant extensor action throughout the downswing and also constantly sustain clubhead lag and prevent club throwaway.

I would also be interested in your opinion as to whether a Tom Tomasello-style "right arm throw" action is suitable for right arm-swingers, who do not use the downswing pivot action to release power accumulator #4. Tom Tomasello stated that in an "arm swinger's" action, the body simply gets out of the way so that the arms can swing freely across the front of the body. In that scenario, I can envisage the the right arm/forearm being actively responsible for the release of power accumulator #4 - by the right palm pressing against the left thumb at PP#1 and pushing the entire left arm forward. In that sense, I can envisage the "right arm throw" action causing the release of power accumulator #4 via an active "push"' action, and the release of power accumulator #2 via a secondary "pull" action on the clubshaft (the right forearm/arm pushes the left arm forward at PP#1 => the left hand pulls the grip => the club passively releases via a centrifugal action). The question then becomes - does the right arm/forearm also cause an active release of power accumulator #1 in a right arm swinger's action, or is the right arm swinger's action still a triple barrel (4:2:3) swing action?
