Return of the Snap Release?

Holy smokes. What was that video all about? I don't think I've seen a drill quite like that before...

Oh, thanks Bucket. No disrespect intended, I know some who enjoy it. I've just not seen it in action... Sounds like Justin is happy to be back, and I look forward to following his work.

Yoda,

You are mistaken. Those videos were taken way back in 2009. I am now "back", because I fell off the way path as I have outlined somewhere in this thread. The only videos that are representative of what my view is is from 2011.

Justin,

Please, take a deep breath, and listen.

I remember your videos from your earliest postings on my site. The promise was so strong. Frankly, I was shocked at what I saw two nights ago in your posted swing.

I know you are "back" from your 2009 YouTube videos. Your recent work is evident. Unfortunately, certain exaggerations remain, and that is why I chose to post the one I did.

The good news is that the exaggerations can be gone almost overnight. Even better, they can be replaced by alignments far more in keeping with the nature of the Golf Stroke, not to mention your own humanity.

Call me.



P.S. I know this is a serious conversation for you. Know that it is for me, too, even if we can't get it done here. You can lead a new generation in a new world. Let's get it right.

Obviously, this video is all about the Release Interval (accumulating, then releasing power in an abbreviated stroke). The Clubhead Power (Left Wrist Uncock and Roll) and Clubface Alignment (impact bag arresting left and right wrist collision conditions) are admirable. However, the geometric alignments of Zone 1 (Pivot Control) and Zone 3 (Plane Control) are simply awful.

Sorry.

Sorry.

No disagreement here . . . I stuck my toe in the water to see what all the hub-bub was about . . . Canadians swim in the ocean at Myrtle Beach in FEBRUARY. . . not this redneck . . . water too COLD . . . I swim in warm Yellow water

That's what I love about you brother. When you post about others ideas, you have learned through experience. That big toe must hurt like a beeatch!!!

OK now I see the sub text and the reason for the title of this thread...."return to snap release". Sorry I've been very busy shopping for bathing suits for my trip to Myrtle Beach next January.

Comdpa could you describe you're former Release Trigger or Throw in TGM terms or otherwise? Non Auto , sequenced, two handed ? Does the Right Hand cock and uncock, or bend and un bend actively? Homer wouldnt like either of those too much, but they do exist in the wild. Or maybe the left wrist throws out the #2 angle prior to the right arm rolling #3 ?

Could you get it working? Did it add anything interesting to your Auto Snap?

Man thats a serious departure from Auto Snap.

Well in so many words as Yoda has put it, I developed a very vicious underplane backswing under the guise of "you dont hit the ball on your backswing".

Well, you also don't hit the ball on your follow through, so does that mean you do it any which way you want?

No.

And so it is with the backswing...it is a portent of things to come.

Watch this space for more.

OK will do and agreed about the backswing in that we do tend to unload that which we load.
