2. Henny pointed this out which I thought was interesting . . . . Hogan sets a lot of lag but he RELEASES it . . . he's not dragging it in there really deep like Ben Doyle . . . he loads tons but he's letting it whip out via a suuuuuuuuuper fast release of #4 and #1.

Yes, a very key source of power. Reminds me of a quote from one of the Mike Austin dvd's re: the swingers sequenced release and throw out

"the only part of the release that is delayed is the turning of the wrist back to the ball" (accumulator #3)

In other words - you 'can' throw (uncock) very intentionally, and with a lot of force, as long as you don't roll at the same time and are on plane. As long as the release is sequenced. At release point, Hogan really released with a lot of force.

There is a LOT of mechanical advantage in the swingers sequenced release. It is a very efficient move.

Imagine trying to throw the club 'down' into the ground from top, while keeping your back to the target as long as possible. Get the feel for that 'uncock THEN rolll'.

Swing smarter, not harder
