Tongzilla,

Are you sure about that??? I can feel the loading of accumulator number 2 at the end assembly point...it's a subtle feel...but it's there. I use extensor action takeaway (10-19-0 and 6-B-1-0) and Snap Loading...on the takeaway, I allow the right elbow to fold naturally a la Ernie Els (no forced extensor action, totally natural extensor action)...for short shots, I start folding the right elbow immediately at startup(sweep loading). I believe the confusion on snap loading comes from interpretation of pictures (that you need a really wide arc to perform snap loading) and not fully understanding what snap loading is...read 10-22-C carefully. Checkout Ben Doyles video "How to Build A G.O.L.F Swing" when he demonstrates snap loading....no wide arc there!!!

If you study this concept in-depth...you will find that with Right Forearm Takeaway there are two natural procedures for swingers and two for hitters.

Swingers - Full Sweep and Snap
Hitters - Full Sweep and Random

Just look to stroke patterns 12-1-0 and 12-2-0...both are using extensor action takeaways which creates snap loading for swinging and random loading for hitting. For short shots just start folding the right elbow at takeaway and you have the perfect loading procedure for short shots (sweep loading). Hmmmm yes, TGM is that easy.
