Yes Bill, that's correct. These parts set you up so that power can be generated effectively. It would be no good generating maximum head speed if it was not directed at the ball or with a square clubface at impact. All the best airshots do that wrong

This thread is asking the question "What generates power in the golf swing" or what is the powerhouse, I think Aftford is correct in saying it is mainly generated by the release of the wrist angles.
