There is a tradeoff between clubhead speed and hand speed in the golf stroke. If I take what you say literally I read that you wish to reduce your clubhead speed to increase your hand speed.

If you go for a snap release it will have a slow down effect on the hands. This is a good thing because it means that a bigger portion of the energy you generate in your down stroke is allocated from your body parts to the club head. This slow down can be fought of course if you're able to keep upp the good work and not just freewheel through the ball.

Homer called it resistance against slowdown and that is probably as good as it gets without killing the clubhead speed.

Personally I want maximum (or very close to maximum) swing speed through the ball. And then I want to add all the thrust I am able to deliver. Successful thrusting possibly gives 10-20 yards extra but only when the swing speed is intact.
