Nonsense. The idea that you can't use the muscles in your arms and hands consciously to accelerate the club is simply nonsense.
The problem isn't *whether*, but *when*. Focusing on the use of the hands and arms *can* lead to using them to early in the swing, but that's an entirely different issue.
Funny. No one who competes in long drive competitions use a Whippy *in* competition. Why is that? BTW, did you really expect a commercial to do anything but say how great the product is supposed to be?
