For:

"putting" and "chipping (or putting w/ lofted club)", I employ degree of freedom #1 (or shoulder turn with angled hinge) only-maximum precision, yet minimun power.

"pitching (or putting w/ wrist action)", I simultaneously employ degree of freedom #1 (shoulder turn) plus #2 (wrist bend, or vertical hinge) only-better direction control with slightly more power (due to added degree of freedom being involved).

a "less than a full swing", I simultaneously employ degree of freedom #1 (shoulder turn) plus #2 (wrist bend) plus #3 (wrist cock) plus #4 (forearm roll, or horizontal hinge), yet no #5 (arms lift/motion)-much tougher control, yet much more power output (due to more degree of freedom involved and thus more time and space/room for acceleration).

a "full swing", I simultaneously employ degree of freedom #1 (shoulder turn) plus #2 (wrist bend) plus #3 (wrist cock) plus #4 (forearm roll) plus #5 (arms lift)-the toughest control, yet the maximum power output (due to literally the most degree of freedom involved).

Of course, any movement of a joint should be counted as one degree of freedom. So, go figure how many are involved in a full swing.

YOU load and sustain the "LAG", during which the "LAW" releases it, ideally beyond impact.
"Sustain (Yang/陽) the lag (Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" (陰陽合一).
The "LAW" creates the "effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the "cause", which is the "intent" or "command".
"Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life.
Think as a golfer, execute like a robot.
Rotate, twist, spin, turn.
Bend the shaft.
