Burner,

Assuming that you are a Swinger, could you tell me what you think powers your golfers flail? Please be specific about the muscles involved.

Golfie,

Not ducking the question but to answer it in full would merely diversify and prolong the argument; from which original we have already strayed afar.

Suffice it to say that the flail can, more than adequately, be powered without any hip or upper body rotation at all, be it by hitting or swinging.

Swinging: take a club in your left hand and, without rotating your hips or trunk, extend it as far back as you can. Now swing the assembly through the imaginary ball and see how much speed you have got and how you are compelled to allow the body to repond to the swinging arm in order for the motion to be completed. Listen for the "swoosh".

Repeat the process but with backswing torso rotation. Do you hear any difference in "swoosh" sound? No, I thought not, so what does that tell you?

Performing the same motions (Hitting) with your right arm only and your experience will be no different.
