4-D-0: Release Motions

[2mongoose]

Something about the 2nd paragraph I need some clarification on:

Normally, only swingers with their Standard Wrist Action (10-18-A) "Swivel"-that is, actually rotate the Left Wrist-through Release into its Vertical Position for Impact. That must be pre-programmed not later than The Top per 8-6. Have a clear picture of the intended Impact Hand Position all the way down-NOT the process of achieving it. But all players must "Swivel"-actually rotate their wrists-into the "parallel to the Plane" position for the Finish (8-12) after the Followthrough.

This seems to squash my idea that the majority of sweetspot rotation takes place at the moment throw out action begins.

Is that right? Begin to rotate the clubface off the plane much sooner than throwout action and let centrifugal force just provide the "umph?" I thought throwout action was supposed to align for horizontal hinging? Somebody help!

In theory, yes, throwout should take care of it, but that assumes you are perfectly on plane and in Rhythm. By starting the process sooner, you are correct in that you are making sure that when throw out happens, all systems are 'go' (umph as you put it).

For a swinger, the best insurance is to understand that the left wrist uncocks and THEN the roll happens - a sequenced release. The roll being caused by the pivot and throw out.

If you have to 'try' too hard for that roll, chances are good you are either out of alignment (poor grip/setup) or off plane - both of which ultimately mean you are also out of the proper Rhythm.
