In the right arm swing, the golfer DOES NOT drive the right arm through impact without a releasing action (or you will get a clubhead throwaway condition per 6-D-2)....the trigger is non-automatic instead of an automatic trigger. Delaware Golf's Points listed in order with Yoda's Counterpoints bolded: 1. I believe the right arm swing has both muscular thrust and centrifugal force per 2-M-1. There is a fine line between a Muscular Thrust that Radially Drives the Clubhead and a Muscular Thrust that Longitudinally generates a Centrifugal Force that Drives the Clubhead. That fine line differentiates Hitting from Right Arm Swinging. 2. ...the Full Sweep or Random Sweep release gives the right arm swing its swing characteristics (lengthwise acceleration...longitudinal acceleration). The Release Point has nothing to do with Swinging versus Hitting. Both Swingers and Hitters can release the Club as soon as possible (Full Sweep), as late as possible (Snap) or somewhere in between (Random Sweep). 3......however, there has to be a release action when using right arm acceleration. Agreed. Right Arm or Left, with or without Body Momentum Transfer, Accumulated Power must be Released. 4....whether the release is early or late is the players choice. Agreed, and per Item 2 above, that player can be either Swinger (Right Arm or Left) or Hitter. 5. ....if the player employs maximum trigger delay and a snap release, the action becomes more of a hit rather than a swing. Longitudinal Acceleration and Radial Acceleration determine the physics of Swinging or Hitting, not Trigger Delay and Release Type. 6. In the right arm swing, the golfer DOES NOT drive the right arm through impact without a releasing action (or you will get a clubhead throwaway condition per 6-D-2). Per Item 3 above, Accumulated Power must be Released. However, both Left Arm and Right Arm Swingers use Centrifugal Force Throw-Out Action to drive the Club, not Muscular Thrust Drive-Out Action. 7. ...the trigger is non-automatic instead of an automatic trigger. Both Left Arm and Right Arm Swingers can use the Aiming Point procedure to effect an Automatic Trigger. __________________ Yoda Yoda View Public Profile Send a private message to Yoda Visit Yoda's homepage!
