I would like to gain some insight into how golfers consciously control a non-automatic release action.

HK describes different types of release action (eg. sweep, random, snap) and states that each type can be automatic or non-automatic.

I can understand an automatic random release action occurring at a certain point in the downswing, and being dependent on the aiming point, and therefore the size/location of the pulley of the endless belt effect.

However, I cannot understand what golfers do when they use a non-automatic random release pattern. Non-automatic implies conscious decision-making. So, i) how does a golfer decide when to release his club when employing a non-automatic random release pattern, and ii) how does he execute it from an anatomical/biomechanical perspective?

Automatic random release pattern, called a ‘true swinger,’ although not a ‘correct’ swinger- relies on a one ball position by club- just before the low point of the swing. This ‘true’ swinger pattern’ relies on “non-control” of the clubhead and clubface. Let it rip as the laws of physics dictates. A non-automatic random release pattern returns control of the release, ball position and clubface. With control comes responsibility. Better Educated Hands and knowledge of the circle is required or you get a less then optimum ball flight.

I'll let others fill in your questions- I have to get back to work.
