i don't nessasarily mean swing with body not arms, but look at gregs RHD. he explains about how swating only uses 90* shouler turn where as the cup used 180*ish shoulder turn. the cup itself isn't giving youpower, it is just makes you turn more to get the club to impact.

as far as the cent force moving club past hands.... that shouldn't happen, you are doing something wrong. if i think about it and don't release i can get my left arm up to shoulder height adn still have cup in right. don't forget a loose grip and swing with your left arm, your right is just a guide. if you need help keeping the cup maybe you could invest in greg normans the secret or david leadbetters the answer. remember don't thing about your right arm or keeping it bend or striat, focus on keeping right hand cupped, and let the right arm do what it needs to to keep that cup. you will need to roate your body pretty far then untill your club reaches impact as you should, giving you more power
