We know that the POWER ACCUMULATORS are all in the ARMS...Left Wrist Cock, Bent Right Arm, Left Arm Blast Off, and the Roll Power of the Left Wrist.

How about the Coil? We have all heard of the "X" Factor, the Coil, etc.. There are even different ways of doing this. The Restrict the Hip Turn way, and the Have the Weight go Over-and-Back before the backswing is finished way to produce a type of coil, or a combination of these... maybe even other ways.

How much power is in this? What do you think?

For me, concentrating on increasing "torque" in the backswing causes more problems than the potential power gain. I think most "average" golfers would do better to not overdo the pivot on the backswing to avoid disrupting alignments and, subsequently, balance and rhythm.

There have been several good threads regarding the subject of the pivot:

It is important that the HANDS control the pivot. In other words, nothing that the pivot does should disrupt the programmed path, rhythm, and speed of the hands through the aiming point from start up to top to finish.

Also, when trying to increase power, it is easy to overaccelerate.
Per 6-C-2-D: "Over-Acceleration is the menace that stalks all Lag and Drag. Here it allows the Hands to reach maximum speed before reaching Impact and so dissipates the Lag. So the LENGTH of the Stroke and the amount of Thrust should be adjusted and balanced to produce a "High Thrust - Low Speed" Impact - "heavy" rather than "quick". Daintiness is dangerous."
