I wanted to make this point because some of u out there in Tgm LANd are under the impression that if you don't have a snap release your throwing the club away and u also seem to be under the impression that all tour players snap as if he snap releae was the measuring stick for the golf swing. the truth is the majority of the greatest players on the planet tour players are using random sweep NOT snap why? Because they have to only hogan could handle the snap release with a full clean hinge I will name one since nobody else has, Phil mickelson the only truly great snap releaser other than hOgan
Woods didn't snap release in 2000 when he was a different better player
Here in his first pro start, stopping the vid just at :57 shows his full wristcock .06 sec before impact, just as his hands reach the right thigh. This as as good as a snap release gets! Give it up whip, this is just like the "hands going down at impact" argument you were trying to make earlier.

I agree in that Snap Release as commonly defined ... super late huge #2 angle ... seductive looking though it is , is not the only way. Watson , Nicklaus etc etc.
But Im still thinking there is more to the story of what Homer would regard as Snap. Perhaps based on the degree of Clubhead Release Arc vs hand travel to impact from the Release Point. OR LATER, closer to impact? That would be a measure of the mechanical advantage of the small pulley wheel , for sure. Producing a higher club head speed for a given hand speed. But.... as I look at the photos of almost everybody with high release arc angles , if you will, near impact , I also see some #2 angle being lost prior. In other words the Release Point is really earlier ... beside their body not in front of it.
I guess Whip your thesis depends on how you define Snap Release . Is the Release Point defined as the place where #2 begins to throw out? Where #4 Releases? You look at say Clampett and you'll see a lot of #2 angle late ( a good thing for club head speed) but that isn't his Release Point of #2 throw out. Even Homer in his analysis of Bobby Clampett for the magazine back in the day showed his Snap Release Point at a later point than where his #2 began to Throw Out! Not saying you're wrong or anything just wondering what gives ? Perhaps those super late with a lot of #2 angle guys actually release #2 about where the rest of us do , they just have more of it to throw out?

Give it up? You're a joke don't talk that way to me ever again. With your Girly emoticons what are you 14
A snap release, elements per TGM, can be determined by going through 11-20. Particular selections and combinations of trigger, delivery paths, pressure points and accumulators are available for snap release and others are therefore excluded.
[looking at 11-20, Des D, trig. comb. C should have been includes with B ?? - is this an omission??- I have Ed. #6]
