Daryl,
You switched it up a little bit- the prior post was referring to when the clubface points at the plane line- but the above quote states square to the plane line and further clarifies that to mean pointing at the ball. Not sure how you invision the clubface square to the plane line AND looking at the ball?

The release can start anywhere from the earliest part of the downswing to the last instant before impact- not sure where you are invisioning this release taking place where the clubface is "square to the plane line".

When you say the clubface- the amount of loft would influence when it would or could point at the plane line. If I was laying open a sandwedge out of the bunker- the face might point at the ball at the top of the swing.

I guess I'd need to see a picture of a golfer - where as you describe the face is pointing at the ball during release- and see what that looks like. Not sure anyone would do that during the period of the downswing where the shaft is parallel to the ground or any point after that - until impact- unless you're talking about a unique short shot around the green.

It's all confusing to me.

Although I would say that unlikely as it may sound- Phillygolf is correct in that a sequenced release (whether for a straight ball, slice, hook) is defined by the timing sequence of the accumulators #2 and #3. Clubface orientation is a completely separate issue.

Mike,

I think you may have found the error in my thinking. Please look at post #46 in this thread. I said that Sergios Wrists are Cocked and His Clubface is pointing at the Plane Line, and maybe I’m wrong to say it’s pointing at the Ball. This may be where I'm making a mistake.

My understanding of the Sequenced Release Motion is that the #3 Acc (Hand Motion – Clubface control) is preceded by the #2 Acc (Wrist Motion - Clubhead). In Sergios case, as this Picture illustrates, His Left Wrist looks Flat to me, with a 10-2-D Grip. I guess at the 10-2-D grip because his Clubface is facing the Plane Line when his Left Wrist is Flat. I’m saying that His Clubface is (in dummied down Golf vernacular) square to the Ball. If that’s true, then he won’t need to Swivel into Impact (he only needs the Pivot to Roll the #3). He is using Simultaneous Release (Right hand Paddlewheel). Additionally, I have been trying (but failed) to say that he cannot unCock and Roll on the same Planeline if he tries to Sequence the Release.

Sergio is Swinging only because his is not using Right Arm Thrust. Sergio also Cocks Both Wrists.

If someone can put all of this together, like I have (misguided perhaps), then it becomes clear that Sergio is 10-2-D, Angle Hinging, Controlled Throwaway Swinger, 165 pounds, wins Millions, and gets all the Girls.
