With all this talk of increased speed .
Did it mean you had to change shafts To a stiffer or heavier one.?

I have a Hazrdus 5.5 if I try to hit it harder I just lose control and hit a massive push.

I think the opposite is true, your improved technique has increased your speed.
Yes, of course. But the improved technique, was prompted by the push for speed. Not the speed a result of an attempt to improve technique. There is a difference.

Trying to swing faster was the key - and that doesnt mean lashing out wildly with every muscle. I think that is the mistake some make and feel swinging out of their shoes will also lead to erratic direction. In fact, my swing is in more control than before.
The PRGR, with club speed for every practice shot, is like practicing with a closed loop feedback on what improves or disimproves your swing. So it keeps you on rails to improvement of swing, on the principal that to swing it faster, you have to swing it better. Trying to improve by looking only at ball flight, swing positions, vague feelings of what might be better, is well beaten by some precise measure.

It’s so simple really.One would use Inertia; centrifugal and centripetal forces.

Can figure all this out with no prior golf instruction.If you need speed

Any joe on the street can get that in 20 mins

Is this what you mean?

2∑n=1∞∑k=12n(−1)n+1(2π)2n(2n−k+1)!(12πi)k=1

Both.in reality there should be no difference in a 1 inch putt and a 250 yard drive.It’s an implement in your hand.Your body knows what to do if you let it.Use Inertia and gravity
I’m of the firm belief that you’re having a psychosis.

I understand everything Superstriker has written.
It is not a requirement that I or anyone else agree with him.
If I did not understand him, I would ask for further explanation.
If I were to disagree with him, I would make my own counter point.

Two hundred and forty nine yards eleven inches of a difference though.

And if you use the universal gravitational constant to judge any put that isnt straight it works out.

Agree with the fundamental point though. Use golf clubs as they are designed, not as if they were tennis rackets which is what so many do. And as for the number of people using a putter like a banjo, well, they only have themselves to blame when they miss the putt.

But instead, you are Voyager, so you respond with airy-fairy wistful prose

I played a knockout match this morning. I drove the ball really well, he didn't. He putted really well, I didn't. He won the match.

So I think I know the answer to the OP's question now.
