My own experimenting in performing Shoulder Throws and measuring distance results. Also, I've taken each of these procedures to the Course many times. Direction isn't a problem. Distance is very easy to measure, especially off the tee.

I'll do ten or more Shoulder Throws. -50 Yards
Using the Pivot to Throw the Primary Lever from the Top with Hip Action at Startdown. You spend the Pivot at the Top. There's not much else you can do.

Ten or more shoulder Throws with Hand Throws. -25 Yards
Using the Muscles of the Left Shoulder, Arm, and Back to simultaneously pull the Left Arm Down while using a Shoulder Throw. Feels like a Hammer-thrower in the Olympics.


Ten or more Wrist Throws with my normal Downstroke Acceleration Sequence.

Slower Startdown, leaving my Hands at the Top while the Pivot Lowers the Right Shoulder and Power Package On-Plane to Release where Hip Action Throws the Right Hand past the Line of Sight. The Left Wrist Uncocks then Swivels into the Horizontal Hinge.


Hip Motion may lead the Shoulders. Hip Action Throws the Right Shoulder.

The Ball travels farther when the Accumulators are Released Close together. 1,2,3 at Release. Vs. #1 at the Top, #2 at Release, #3 just before Impact.

As soon as the Primary Lever moves Away from the Chest, the Left Wrist begins to Uncock. I can't find any Mechanical advantage to this procedure in a full Swing.

When the Wrist Throw begins, the Left Arm is still across the Chest though the Power Package has Lowered the Hands to Release during the Hand Acceleration Sequence. Hips and Shoulders are open (very Open) at Impact. When "Both Arms Straight" occurs, the Hands become centered in your Body. So, all of these actions and Impact occur while the Hands have not yet reached Center of the Shoulders.


See this for yourself on a Horizontal Plane.
Stand up Straight. Both Arms Straight at shoulder height and Hands Centered. Bend your Right Elbow a few inches while simultaneously moving your Hands to the Right so that your Left Arm crosses your chest. Keep that geometry while turning your torso to the Left until your hands reach line of sight to the ball. Shoulders are very open. That's pretty close to Impact.
