Use the hands, not body rotation, for clubhead speed

The coach hits two comparison shots: on the first he holds the wrist angle and turns with body rotational speed, and on the second he comes through using just his hands instead of the body. The body-rotation shot carried 121 yards (132 total) and the hands shot carried 136 (149 total), which he says shows the hands and arms are where the speed really comes from.
