This is just how I teach, but regarding the top of the backswing, I teach with no hesitation at the top. If you hesitate, your muscles relax, and you lose potential power. Think of it as pulling a rubber band back. If you pull it back then let it go without hesitation, it will go further than it will if you pull it back to the same spot and hesitate before you let it go. The muscles work the same way.

The same thing is true with jumping. If you jump up once, then land and jump again without hesitating, you will jump higher. This is why basketball players sometimes use a jump stop before skying to the rim.

Just wanted to put in my two cents.
