However, none of the muscles that you described would move the hands faster through space. So to me, Sean's quote is just another quote that doesn't make any sense or is very unclear.

Sorry
Mike,
When he related
Jack Nicklaus' compliment, he was uncocking and rolling his hands - very quickly.
To him , handspeed was the sequenced release of the swinger - uncock and roll.
That said, I agree with you on the role of the upper arm but I still do not completely understand its role in producing clubheadspeed thus have not began isolating them in training yet. I will be most keen to share once I reach a conclusion.
One thing that stuck in my mind about
Sean was the size of his
Extensor carpi radialis longus and his
Pronator teres. They resembled sausages.
