Loren,in your opinion,where did Austin get his length,thanks again
His arms. Leaving the hands at the right shoulder as long as possible, right shoulder down, maybe adding right arm thrust on entry to the release area (bottom of the hands path where they take a left turn, reverse J), kinesiology, laying off the shaft at the top on the way down, training as a boxer, superb physical specimen, torso and shoulders.
Excellent timing. I don't attribute much power to the secret compound pivot except in support of tempo, timing, balance and clearance, the alignment it provides and it's easy on the body.
Management of centrifugal force. Precise measurement to the ball at address with no wrist cock. Forward press to check it and feel like the swing is already in motion. It's in his wheelhouse.
"Anywhere in the swing the navel (center of mass) precedes the chin by about 4-6 inches." Mike Dunaway "Get off that right knee to get the shoulder down, and put the hands about mid-right thigh."
Lots of buckets of balls. "If it isn't talkin' to you you haven't swung it." MA
We can shortcut that with educated hands.
Loren , thats an interesting observation you make about Mike Austin employing some Right Arm Thrust in Release do think he was Pushing or Pulling with the Right Arm?
Did he personally ever talk about his "power throw" as being a right arm deal? I love to see it.
Thanks

Looks like he's got his right elbow in front of his right hip here anyways. Pitch Elbow. Making him a Right Arm Swinger if he's actively using the Right Arm? Pulling Longitudinally prior to his Release Throw.

Push. He had this crazy idea the he had to make the clubhead catch up to the hands. So what it really became was right arm control of roll and making his snap release non-automatic.
We saw the quick right arm in the swing sequences, IMO.

That'd make him Simultaneous Release then ? Interesting. Thanks
I love talking the Throws. Not too many players spoke in as detailed a manner as Mike Austin did about his own Throw. Seve did but thats for another day maybe. Actually there may be some similarities between the two.
Then you have the Geoff Ogilvy's , Tom Watsons and Freddy Couples of the world hitting full shots with just the right arm attached as a drill. Its a big beautiful world. Lots of shades of grey.
