every time you change your club you would have different feeling and forces to work with and you do all this without realizing all the complected adjustments that your hands and arms are doing and doing this with a light grip so you only grip the club hard enough for the club not to turn in your hands???? and apply that to only the muscles that need to be used in countering the force.
it is my opinion he is wrong with how he works out what happens and he says there is 100lbs of force but it only happens for a slit second so you don't notice it but even for a slit second you would need to have a really tight grip at hold to to as he says a "sack of cement".
you said that the force pulls the arms away from the body but the force don't start to take effect till the hands are below the hips and the club started to straiten out so how does the muscles know to pull back if your already well into your swing plane, the force is in the hand to below the waist and only when the club starts to catch up with the hand if the force applied to the club head.
in "the golf machine" it explains the forces a lot better and how and where they are applied.
