Use a lever-like snap for clubhead speed

The speaker describes the motion as a gear effect, like winding a lever back and snapping it down. He says that if he turns with the body, the handle moves too far forward and the clubhead is not able to catch up; handle speed is reduced, which affects clubhead speed. He contrasts that with setting the club to the takeaway and letting the trail arm go from bent to straight, which he says catapults the clubhead to the post-impact circle outside the lead foot.
