You would have to understand how the legs and hips start the sequence and then transfer energy, linking up to the next segment causing/creating force. And as they link up they give up a good deal of their energy and are no longer the driving force of the swing.

The goal of the swing is to hit the ball as hard as you can (which doesn't necessarily mean swing as hard as you can). The hips are the source of power that allows you to do that. I purposely didn't go into heavy description in describing what the legs do because I already did that in a previous post. The argument that I thought would get the most resistance was the needlessness of the backswing and THT.
