just trying to get more in the ball park ob not necessarily exactly on it but where i was, my right arm was way tooo bent at release and my downstroke sequence tended to throw the wrist cock out before releasing 4 and passive 1(right arm straightening).

regarding the right elbow and release...

from 7-20

"so with the downstroke waggles, verify-- through the hands only--that the right elbow will be on plane before triggering to assure accurate tracing for the follow through. Especially with Delayed Release this will rotate the left hand in a swiveling action as required for rhythm"

and if your elbow is on plane and the hands are on plane, well your forearm is too.

the hitter uses simultaneous release, the swinger uses sequenced release. The swinger can release 4 and 1 without releasing 2 via the mandatory flexible wrists and its rope pulling, arrow pulling longitudinal acceleration.

the right arm cocks the left wrist in the backstroke for the swinger but it need not uncock the left wrist as it straightens in the downstroke. remember regarding the left wrist and right wrist in a delayed release procedure...trigger delay alters little geometrically but magnifies the physics. variations in trigger delay are possible only because the cocked left wrist allows the right elbow to straighten faster than the left arm would otherwise allow. the greater the delay, the more rapid the paddlewheel action and the more swivel-like it becomes without increasing the actual endless belt speed of the left hand

combine that with pivot and it doesn't take much right arm bend down there because the pivot moves it forward in space without it moving forward or extending independently, for me i'm almost feeling as if both arms get straight well before impact, this of course is a tricky thing because it need be by the left arm pulling the right arm straight and not the right arm straightening actively and without muscular effort and tension

check out charles howell III he really gets that sucker on plane down there and really straightens the right arm without uncocking the left wrist, davis love pretty good too but of course disregard the tour players cuz they're doing a lot of stuff!

tension is the enemy in all of this and I'm aware of it now more than ever, tension turns my swinging action into a wannabe hitting/swinging/steering/throwaway tension filled disaster

btw ur advice is the same as one of the tips he gave me

what i have to remember too is that maximum trigger delay noticeably restricts maximum handspeed, in an attempt to straighten the right arm without uncocking the left wrist i inadvertantly try to get it straight faster and faster of course this is counter-intuitive as it makes the left wrist fly out sooner as it must.

golf is hard but im not giving up
