What generates speed in a golf swing?
According the website Scigolf.com, only about 15 percent of clubhead speed comes from the rotation of your body. The remaining 85 percent is generated by the swinging motion of your arms and hands.
Why is my swing speed so slow?
Improper grip Golfers who hit slow swing speeds tend to grip the club too tightly which causes slow swing speeds. Instead the arms should be loose and the ball should be struck fast. Try implementing the 10 finger grip or the interlocking grip to ensure maximum swing speed.
First Step: Review Throw the Ball
The best way to start to incorporate the right arm and use it to get some speed is by doing the Throw the Ball Drill.

More Review: 9 to 3 Lag Building Drill
Now that you've incorporated the right arm and started to get some more speed out of it, we're ready to talk about how to add some lag.
Now Put it All Together
Start out by setting up an impact bag and making some mini swings into it.
Start Small & Build Up
We'll start out with some right arm only drills. You're going to set up to an impact bag then swing the club back just a couple of feet. You want to feel like you're throwing the right arm toward the impact bag and letting the right wrist stay soft so the club head can lag behind.

GET THE TOE OF THE CLUBHEAD TO THE BALL FIRST
Golfers who try to steer the clubface through impact for straighter drives usually end up slicing it because they leave the face open. Instead of trying to square it up, feel as if you’re over-rotating the face by getting the toe of the club to the ball before the heel. The toe should be pointing down the fairway after impact ( above ).
MAKE YOUR DRIVES SIZZLE WITH THIS MID-PRACTICE DRILL
Now that you know it’s better to swing full-out than try to control your drives, here’s a great way to train your body to swing faster. I call it the Fireball drill. Midway through your range session, hit five balls with your driver at maximum speed, or what I like to call “unrestricted mayhem” ( above).
RELAX THE LEAD ARM FOR A TENSION-FREE BACKSWING
The idea that you should keep your lead arm straight on the backswing is bad advice for most amateurs. It creates tension in the back and restricts your swing. Focus on keeping a soft lead arm instead, even allowing for a slight bend at the elbow ( above ).

That's what Tony Luczak has been preaching- his "arms first" feeling as a motor control idea. He says it will never happen in a real swing, but the intention is there just like throwing a ball. Seems to make sense. I've tried the OP's little experiment before and I always see more speed with the arms.
Mr. Desmond
Excellent posts and thread. Something I've been working on for years - my evolution from arms driven to body driven, and now the hybrid swing (joking) pinning the lead arm to the shoulder and then swinging the arms as fast as possible creating separation and then releasing to the left (as a righty).

This topic doesn't advocate anything like that. When throwing a ball, you still often move your lower body first, and then your torso, etc. The kinematic sequence is the same - from the ground on up (or out).

Sounds fine in theory, but things don't really work that way. The body doesn't just "react" the right way all the time at all.

Arm swing? I think I passed out for a moment. But to be fair, maybe I'm misinterpreting the premise. Is this a discussion about how fast the arms can swing as a data point? Or, for to help folks who have physical limitations? If so, cool.

Essentially you draw a line with marker on the ball and keep it in the middle vertical when you hit. You will then get a mark on your club which shows you the position and angle of your hit.
