You want to "maintain" the #3 angle INHERENT IN THE PLANE ANGLE YOU SELECT...that's it that's all...the release type...that's freakin' red meat filet mig-nawn of the golfing machine....you can't swing and hit at the same time...Homer was a PURE GENIUS on this....Hitting IS releasing #2 and #3 at the SAME TIME....SIMULTANEOUSLY...therefore the sweetspot does not lay on the plane as long...also HUGE implications on right arm participation....pitch with swinging ...punch with hitting...



You can do that left arm drill thingie with BOTH procedures...you'll note that the left thumb works differently in it's uncocking...with simultaneous...the left thumb uncocks more "out to the plane line earlier"...with swinging you are uncocking karate chop left palm facing the plane longer...



different faces...different procedures...note the elbow positions....the different locations of the right shoulder....fly wheeling vertical-ish right shoulder...vs...launching pad right shoulder higher working out to the plane line more...Homer was a dang genius...right arm participation is totally different.
Accuracy isn't not allowing #2 to go...that's some morad junk...overriding the pulley...dragging the buttcap to the wall...

Bucket,

Thanks on your usual great reply.

Re accuracy by keeping pa2 unreleased, I didn't mean it that way. My INTENTION is to do something with pp1 and keep bent right wrist, but I know that won't happen when the throwout happens because the pa2 will inevitably release. But I'm still doing the pp1/bent right wrist thing (and level left wrist by the way) more to avoid or prevent the pa2 release/velocity to uncock the left wrist greater than it's level state; hence I was able to "maintain" the minimum pa3 angle AFTER pa2 release. And yeah, I have to "pair" this minimum angle post-pa2-release to the plane line. Thanks, excellent. So if I desire the elbow plane, I'll have to adjust the pa3 angle to it, right?

So I guess, it's still swinging, with 4-2-3 as the pattern? With this desired pattern of mine, you think my quest for accuracy first, distance later (when I get stronger) is MISPLACED? You think in this preferred pattern of mine (pa3 angle based), which would you recommend, swinging or hitting? Hitting is tempting me, just because of the distance advantage of right arm thrust. But can it trump out the rotation aspect contributing much to clubhead speed inherent in a swinging pattern?

Re maintaining pa2 unreleased, I agree. But what's your thoughts on having and keeping as large pa3 angle as possible post-release of pa2 in accuracy perspective? Well, distance perspective as well?

Respectfully.
