Pull and then push or swing and then hit

Jeff.
It's ideal geometrically and physically for the "machine" to pull the club from the top, which optimizes the clubhead speed at impact, and push (the grip, or pp#3, to bend the shaft) at impact, which optimizes the ball speed at separation.

Both arms and hands can pull, and both arms and hands are needed to push (or bend the shaft against the clubhead and impact).

So, you can pull it fast (without running out of the right arm fold and right wrist bent) and set it up for a pushing-hard. Boom, you'll feel the ball jumps hard and see it goes far.

Good luck!

YOU load and sustain the "LAG", during which the "LAW" releases it, ideally beyond impact.
"Sustain (Yang/陽) the lag (Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" (陰陽合一).
The "LAW" creates the "effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the "cause", which is the "intent" or "command".
"Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life.
Think as a golfer, execute like a robot.
Rotate, twist, spin, turn.
Bend the shaft.
