Pressure points don't unload until after impact in an ideal stroke. You may have just been made a quick post oversite however taken the wrong way by any particular reader - the results are disastrous. Delay in the onset of "release" is the proper termnotunloading which refers to pressure points.
Put another way, constant pressure of a pressure point to their assigned accumulator doesn't prevent the release of the assigned accumulator. Since a loss of pressure point pressure would release an accumulator, one might think that on the opposite end of the scale that constanct pressure would not release accumulators - which is not the case. Pressure of Pressure points do not impact or control the type of release in an ideal swing.
O.B Left,
This is great stuff. Allowing the left palm to remain on the plane or parallel to the plane both to and through part of the release of the downswing (8-9)and at the say time directing the motion of the uncocking clubhead (#2 pa)at the plane line lends itself to both the geomerty of the motion but also the free flowing physics of the body to 8-12 the finish.

Long answer:
When discussing Swinging , the typical Non Auto Throw for a full shot would be a (Left) Wrist Throw. Either an on plane intentional, Non Auto uncocking of the left wrist , with the left wrist turned flat to the plane , sequenced release , 2 then 3 or an intentional rolling of the left palm off the inclined plane for an overlapping release 3 and 2 together. It sorta tips the club head over (breaking the longitudinal) to induce CF's pull on the head or throwout, Radial Acceleration. Different Non Auto flails , both swingers flails but with different associated feels. Sequenced feels like you drag longitudinally then thow out #2 angle and let #3 roll on its own at the bottom while the other one feels more like you're rolling the #3 angle with cf undoing the #2. The guys who like the Roll version typically prefer the low elbow planes.
I wasnt addressing Ben or his teaching, more the perception held by some guys on the net that TGM swinging is strictly Auto everything, Auto Release, true swinging , with what they call "passive hands" and that hitting is an active manipulation of release ( Non Auto Release). Which isnt square with how Homer defined Swinging or Hitting. Either way the hands are clamps but thats another story.
You can swing and manipulate Release, Uncock and/or Roll as hard as you want. Stick the thing right in the ground and hard. I believe the on plane Uncocking version is the better of the two for full power shots, Swinging but to each their own.
Which is what I see in that Mike Austin video above. A Non Auto (Left) Wrist Throwout of #2 Angle with the Left Hand still turned to the INclined Plane. Despite the Non Auto Throw he did have a small pulley wheel (and high hand speed. A high overtaking rate. He was long, to say the least.)
Comdpa since you're goofing around with your Release.....try a Left Wrist Throw and see what happens to your shots. There might be some added zing to em. Its not necessarily a big throwout of #2 angle down the plane just a little toss will do it to get CF pull , throwout started. Sort of like a running start on throwout. You must delay it of course , dont do it from top. Keep the left wrist flat to plane while Drag Loading and then Throw or toss out some #2 angle at the plane line while holding the left wrist turned to plane. It'll roll off on its own at the bottom. 2 then 3. You might be shocked by how late it can still look on tape. Maybe it isnt for you but its worth experimenting with it. Start at slower speeds then build it up. You can go to fast and ruin it. CF only likes to go so fast at first but once it takes hold you can never catch up to it via muscular effort.

Thanks man. I like your "free flowing" thing.
As an aside, the Swingers Sequenced Release sounds very much about the velocity produced by the uncocking of the #2 Angle but the Roll at the bottom is not to discounted. Theres a lot of compression to be found there in Horizontal Hinging , maximum compression, Rolling face with no layback. See 2-C-1.
When the Uncocking and the Roll are put together in this sequenced manner they become the Swingers Flail, the golfers flail with its hinge pins etc. Like Sergio and Hogan used on longer shots. Like a big uncocking then rolling swish of the flail. Somehow with the grass flail it was way easier to adopt than with a golf club. Steering being the cause probably.
And in terms of the relative importance of Uncocking vs Rolling : how did it go in 12-3?
Section 6 -The Top
21. Delivery line Uncocking Prep
22. DELIVERY LINE ROLL PREP.
Homer put the emphasis on the ROLL. Although he also called it Transfer power where as #2 uncocking was Velocity Power interestingly. Is it that the #3 Roll Power though weaker than #2 is less apparent , given Steering? Critical though it is? I dunno? I can uncock all I want but if I Vertical a little Steer job I get weak fades all day. Something that happens as a subconscious Compensation when I start to Round House the path Outside / In and hit the odd pull draw. Now that I know I tend to do this , I can stop the whole sorry progression of geometric chaos before it spreads to far. I go back to 12-3 pt 21 and 22. Delivery Line and cut shot therapy ....get the blurr going on line and Roll that flat left wrist. Effortless power returns every time. A lesson I relearn and relearn. Path and Face control is what its all about.
B. Avoid "Starting to Hit" when using a Snap Release (6-N-0)
Beside which is a notation from a day at the swamp with Yoda reading......" Automatic Snap Release.....Lynn '08"
Im thinking there's a heck of lot of "starting to hit" in the catalogued TGM Release types, Throws. Sure feels that way to me. Auto Snap aside. Great pattern though it is, but not the only one available by any means.
