Here is #4, Jeff.
#4. The Pivot and the Arm Swing are NOT in perfect "snyc" throughout an effective golf swing.
The clubhead must travel up enough on the backswing to be able to hit down enough, in enough to hit out enough, and back enough to hit forward enough. The Arms are carried somewhat back and in by the pivot, but very little up. The arms must do the rest themselves, and often they do this at different rates relative to the pivot.
On the downswing, the pivot provides some of the down, a lot of the out, and most of the forward. It also provides a large percentage of the speed needed. The arms have swung a certain amount across the chest on the backswing, and are "loaded" even more so at the start of the downswing. They gradually are swung away from the body until the pivot slows to allow the "release" of angles, during which impact occurs in the latter stages.
This forward pivoting includes rotation and axis tilting, at a near one-to-one ration. The arms which were across the chest at the top and even more so at start down, swing quickly to the other side of the chest during release and after impact. The arms then pull the pivot to the finish.
That certainly ain't "in sync."
