The links of the chain must move in the right order, and coil helps 'ensure' that order - it is the sequence, and resulting leverage, that give the power, not the muscle tension

EdZ,
Sam Snead was a very long hitter. So... a no coil type swing like his can obviously produce great power. Bobby Jones, I believe, also had a huge hip turn, but was very long.
How much muscle TENSION do you think one should be aware of during a sound swing(Stroke), if any? The COILERS (X-Factor) seem to FEEL VERY WOUND UP, and have a type of Tension. The NON-COILERS seem to feel very little of this TENSION (Snead).
