Agreed. Me too. The plane and the flat left wrist still rule for sure.

The "swinging or releasing left" thing is so horribly named it makes it hard to discuss without thinking of a cross line swing path or left alignment. And why name something after a "feel" of the hands going left anyways? Maybe I have it all wrong. But the move itself does work nicely for less than full powered shots.

Im just wondering if these various "releases" are simply different hinge actions? A held off 7 iron is really just angled hinging? A down the line full release with a driver is horizontal hinging , plane and simple. A Trevino like cut off , held off wedge shot is angled hinging with a lot of lag pressure and a brisk pace. Not sure if hitting and swinging would make a difference beyond their normal associated hinge action.

Great questions OB. I think you and I are stuck in the same place. Hopefully one of the big guns will help us out with this...

One "Big Gun" is already here, and he has things under control.

Thanks, O.B.!
