[Yoda]

Great post Yoda. Would you say it is the slowing down of the Pivot that allows the Left Arm to 'blast' off the chest?

It is the Thrust of the Downstroke Right Shoulder Turn -- the cumulative act of the Pivot -- that 'blasts' the Left Arm off the chest, not the "slowing down" of the Pivot. The Right Shoulder is the 'last outpost' of the Pivot, and its work is done when it has reached its maximum speed. Thereafter, along with the rest of the Body, it continues to Lead, but the torch has been passed to the Power Package (the Arms and Hands, their Loading and the Clubhead Lag).

But remember...

Pivot Lag, just as the Clubhead Lag, is never Released.

Swinging (Momentum Transfer into the Left Arm and Club) or Hitting (Equal and Opposite Reaction for the driving Right Arm).

Release belongs to the Accumulators.
