If its not storing power via a coil then there should be no tension or strain to hold it.
I didn't really say that.

I referred to the coiling power of the torso in relation to the power generated at impact through the release of the angle in the wrists.

There is an amount of coiling in the body that assists in the unwinding of the downswing but it is not the powerhouse that creates velocity of the clubhead through the ball.
