Nice stuff Daryl. Thanks.

Harrison if I read them correctly would suggest that this photo below shows a forward kicking shaft (shaft "lead") as the rate of initial acceleration in Startdown has passed its peak. A second peak in Release, they say, would see the shaft return to its "lagging" condition (bending backwards instead of forwards). Wrist snapping in their terms. Im thinking Throwout action in our terms or Snap Release perhaps.

But they dont differentiate between bending the back or front of the shaft. A Drive Loading Hitter loading the first joint would bend the aft of the shaft along the line of the RFFW to my mind. While a Drag (edit) Loading Swinger would initially be loading the knuckle with a corresponding bend along the top of the shaft or the line of LAFW, followed by a bend along the back of the shaft or the line of the RFFW during a period of Radial acceleration as the load moves to the first joint. So the swinger has two bends but along different lines. While the Hitter may have two bends but along the same line. Is this correct?

Harrison says that good golfers may have it bending backwards or forwards depending upon their Release types. The backward bending providing more "kick" for distance. The forward bending guys needing to adjust to the associated closed clubface and manage the degree of bend for directional control. They dont mention backward bending and an associated open clubface.

What did Homer mean by "pre stressed"? Forward or backward bending? Top of aft of shaft? Im thinking aft as the right arm is always thrusting be you Hitting or Swinging.
