Some of the best drivers of the ball do NOT use a snap release. Use a Sweep release like Watson. Watch Lynn sweep release in the 'swing- hit discussion' clip. He throws out the club (sweep). It works very well on the tee and with woods. And it is a Swing Stroke.

In fact the Sweep release is what lesser educated instructors call 'early release or springing or casting.' All misleading terms because the hands still lag the clubhead. It is just in a SWEEPING motion. Check that clip- it is still the best source of information on the clip site for me. Watch the right shoulder crank and throw out the club. Beautiful.
