What do you mean by quick? I’ve never really understood when people say that about a swing. Is there something in particular you don't understand? Look at a video of ▶ this video, then look at your video above. You should be able to tell one is much quicker than the other, and there should be zero ambiguity which is which.

▶ this video Watch this with the idea that he's turning through and doing an underhand toss but hard. You should see how he more or less picks up the club, turns back, then the hands work down and then underhand back up and through. The body turning with it is what makes it look like he's pulling down on the grip and hitting th ground They're not. In fact every pro is moving the handle of the club up, slightly …
