Intentional Throwaway which exposes the bounce like Luke Donald sometimes does in the sand is to my mind a swinging of the club head past the hands. Swinging the club head intentionally in other words as opposed to the hands. But that said , you can expose the bounce by opening the face and just swing the hands normally. You got options. But ideally you can do both.

This business, variance in release points , Hinge Action and changes in Wrist firmness are all critical variables in short shot mastery to my mind. Wrist firmness I gotta highlight . It goes untalked about but it can be prescribed to great effect when putting, chipping etc and then loosened accordingly Its maybe a factor, component that Homer missed outlining but he did allude to it. Re the Bat and Right arm swinging with loosened wrists. Designed in changes in wrist firmness is there, believe me its there. And it can and should be planned for , prescribed for the shot at hand. Runyan's "stiff wristed chipping" or putting for example does give way to other looser wristed shots. Flop shots etc. You gotta play with wrist firmness .. got to. You loosen as you move more towards True Swinging procedures. Freddy or Bobby Jones type stuff.
