First what is snapping the kinetic chain about?
From what I've gathered, it's the speed transferred to the arms, hands and clubhead via the slowing down (or "breaking") of the Pivot from the ground up (feet, knees, hips, etc.) after the initial startdown of the downswing.
Does it occur in all great golf swings? Yes. 3-D analysis proves it.
Does it occur to the same extent in all great swings? No.
Does having more snap equal more distance? Maybe.
Does having more snap make it harder for you to be consistent and accurate? Maybe [I think so, but there are people who are VERY good at it]
Does having too much snap cause your arms to go in one direction (to the right) while your pivot goes in another (to the left)? Maybe [I think so]
What's a good way to quantify this without expensive equipment?
Look at how open the shoulder is at impact (down-the-line) and the 3 frames after impact.
From face-on, look at how much the shoulder has opened when the right arm is parallel to the ground. Is it more like | or \ ?
