"Effortless power" feels "effortless" but do demand effort, which moves the club(head) effectively, efficiently and precisely and randers it "powerful".
"Powerless effort" feels "powerful", yet the effort/intention is directed toward the ball (or/and its behavior), which usually causes the opposite of the above to the clubhead movement and randers it "powerless".
...which boils down again to technique - getting the job done with the least amount of resources.
We want maximum distance for a given ball speed.
And maximum ball speed for a given clubhead speed.
And maximum clubhead speed for a given hand speed.
And maximum hand speed for a given amount of lag pressure.
And maximum lag pressure for a given amount of effort.

Yep!
And how would Tongzilla craft a Machine to meet this most excellent criteria?
I believe that there is a point in time if a player with good technique desires to hit the ball further that weight training should be explored.
This was the case with Camilio Villegas who averaged only 280 plus yards when entering college. After a dedicated season of weights, he tacked on almost 20 yards to his drives and developed into the big hitter that he is today.
True, but i meant even at your own potential. Check out my thread on right arm thrust vs right arm participation, it explains more what i mean.
