I think these videos and the X factor are a bit of "Hokum Pokum" Or maybe "Hogan Pokum"
If I was to accept the X factor teachings then I would be better off moving my hips 10 deg and my shoulders 90 deg. I don't believe the differential between the shoulders and hips act like a coiled spring, OK there is a little tension there but not that much.
My understanding is that the force needed to compress the ball suitable for powerful flight is generated by the acceleration of the club as the arms, shoulders and wrists (yes wrists) spin it around the body, furthermore it is the effect of COAM where the smaller arc of the hands transfers momentum to the shaft and clubface that maximises this head speed. So! the width of the arc creates suitable acceleration that gets increased through impact by the small arc driving the big arc. The torque created between the hips and shoulders play some small part but very little.
I think J M is not looking in the right place, he should be looking for the "A" factor or how the clubface is Accelerated from the top to impact.
Newton showed us that Force = Mass X Acceleration, what's that got to do with X or Y factor?
Really braced now
