While you're in "messenger" mode, Joe, why not tell us your little secret? Exactly what is the Release procedure used by Mr. Hogan that is "not covered in the yellow book"?
Don't be bashful: We live in a big brick house and "We ain't afraid of noth-in'! We ain't afraid!" (2:20 below)

Ahhh, must be referring to JE aka "Lagpressure" "CP" Release.
Our forums exist so we may learn from each other and enjoy being together. Our culture values and promotes genuine human interaction. To that end, we encourage novel ideas, dissenting views, comments, questions, creative reactions, stories, dissertations and all other genuine contributions. Our goal is lively, informative, civil discussions and a camaraderie among those involved.
We understand that most of our members visit other websites and often find interesting topics. We are happy to discuss those subjects and offer two options. First, when the material is relevant to an existing thread, you are welcome to include it in your posts. However, when you draw attention to a subject not otherwise 'on the table', courtesy dictates that you present it adequately (no presumed understanding), then stay around and be prepared to discuss it.
Alternatively, you may open a new thread dedicated to that particular topic. However, many of our readers will not have visited that site, and those that have may not have seen a particular thread. Therefore, you must present the fundamentals in your opening post so we may understand your concept. Only then can we intelligently exchange views.
If either of these alternatives is "too much work", we offer a third: don't bring the material into your post. We don't like pot-stirring, whether done purely for the delight of the stirrer or to promote an agenda. Nor do we like those who pop in with an occasional "got'cha!" (often posed as a question) or "holier than thou" remark (usually followed by a quick retreat, leaving nothing of substance).
These people disrespect us and rob themselves of a terrific learning experience. To learn, you must engage. You must enter the arena, take risks, and earn your spurs. But this breed does not engage -- it hits and runs. It demands much but offers little.
We will not tolerate such behavior. We are earnest individuals seeking to learn from each other and have fun doing it. People matter here and so do their opinions.
If you've got something to say, say it. Don't wimp out. We want to hear it. If we don't agree, we'll offer our own view -- with civility.
We respect others and demand respect in return.
We will reprimand, suspend, and even expel those who do not meet these standards.
I'm worried that this thread is going to end in an abyss of misunderstanding by introducing the "CP Release".
The term "CP Release" was coined by Mac O'Grady.
It was invented out of a couple of necessities, but foremost, I think it stems from thinking that TGM "Passive Right Arm" means a "Limp and inactive Right Forearm". Which isn't true. I'm referring to the forearm and not a Pressure Point.
First: The "CP Release" is essentially, Driving the Right Forearm to the Correct On-Plane Angle of Approach for Impact and keeping the Right Forearm Wedge ( or only the Right Forearm ) moving On-Plane at least until both Arms are straight. Because of "Transfer Power" from the Pivot to the Right Forearm, wherever the Right Forearm goes, the Clubhead will follow.
Second: (Issue - Problem) If the Left Arm is held against the Chest (Hogan) and not allowed to Swing Freely during the Impact and Follow-through Intervals, the Right Forearm cannot quite reach nor remain on the correct TGM Angle of Approach.
Third: So,,,,A compensation is needed. Namely, the Shoulders must go left in a Horizontal motion at Impact and Follow-through to force the Right Forearm to stay On-Plane. To make this happen, it isn't so hard for the Right Shoulder to go down and then Left because if it stops going down, it's going to come across Left sooner than later.
CP Release includes feeling a resistance to centrifugal force pulling the Right Arm Straight. This should be "felt" during any Swing Procedure when the Right Forearm is Driven to the Angle of Approach (Forward) because the Right Forearm is Leading the Clubhead and CF is Pulling the Clubhead On Plane - (Down and Out), AND, CF is pulling on the Right Forearm as well.
This "feels" like resisting CF pulling the Right Forearm Straight
This leads to the "feel" that you are Pulling (with the right hand) the Clubshaft Left - On Plane (Centripetal Force or CP). However, the reality is that your Right Forearm is simply continuing Down-Plane to Both Arms Straight.
Does this sound like what Hogan did? We'll never know.
When you see a Golfer's Club Swing out to the Right field (above Plane) during the follow-through, you can easily assume that the Ball was struck before the Right Forearm could reach the correct Angle of Approach. But not in all cases, because if you Flatten your Right Wrist during Impact, then the Clubhead catches up the Angle of Approach of your Right Forearm and your Right Forearm begins following the Clubhead.
So, the CP Release isn't actually a "Release" procedure as much as it may be a 'Right Forearm control procedure' when Swinging while keeping your Left Arm Welded to your chest during Impact and Follow-through. The Right Hand controls the Clubhead but the Left Wrist Controls the Clubface. Unless the Right Forearm can get to the correct On Plane Angle of Approach, the Clubface will remain open.
