I watched the video and wished they displayed the controller movement along with the on-screen action. If you're just pulling straight back and forward, what makes it so different from the previous versions? At first I thought you had to move the right-stick in an arc motion, but apparently it's still just straight back and forward.

The speed you do both (back and forth) has more effect on the shot.  Also it appears the swing forward will have more impact, including putting.  I have yet to watch the video, just saw some comments on the TW forum.
