In another topic, the idea that the arms contribute (significantly) to clubhead speed was discussed. Some feel the arms are "passive" or exert no "effort" while others feel they are anything but passive and exert a great amount of effort.

The arms follow the rotation of the shoulders on the plane. The arms slightly trail the body on the through swing, creating some additiona
