Is the transfer of the energy from the torso to the arms in the downswing more efficient if the arms are more "connected" to the body or doesn't it matter?

One question... why?
Not being coy...just dont feel like typing alot....but from what ive learned in the last month my guess would be absolutely not.
Loved this explanation, Steve. Thanks!The shoulders provide the torque from all that KE, so it would seem that a tighter arm swing radius would be flung faster than extending the arms away from the swing center and creating more inertia working against the shoulder torque.
However this assumes there is no 'leverage' provided by the lead arm or 'thrust' from the rear arm .. which may require or create a larger swing radius for clearances to effectively execute.
Perhaps there is a happy medium for optimal effect where the arms can stay close, but move out far enough to allow arm actions.
This is the kind of scientific problem that BManz can resolve in Project 1.68 within their scientific group.
The technology within Project 1.68 should fully confirm the science.
Loved this explanation, Steve. Thanks!
Steve, why do you continue to act like you know what is going to be in Project 1.68? Do you? Or are you trying to make yourself seem more important? Just about every one of your recent posts says something similar to the quote above.
Hey ... I'm trying to tone it down after BManz said that all the fatboys fled the forum after I explained the consequences of extra weight on health and the kinetic chain ... sheeeesh ...!!!
Not really an answer, but ok.
Here you go, Steve (and a former fat boy to boot!):Perhaps you could dig up a plethora of pictures, showing how pro golfers execute their arm fling/fold ... because a picture (with lines superimposed) is worth a thousand swing thoughts ...
I returned to the BManz forum after a self-imposed absence of 6 years ... and to my surprise and pleasure BManz had eschewed TGM for TrackMan, D-plane and the physics of the golfswing by seeking out legitimate scientific advice and knowledge.
The neanderthal mentality still persists amongst some here, but my hope is that Project 1.68 will be their salvation. One can only hope ...
