So far, while hitting, I either have a "no-release" sensation (sustaining PP#3 through impact) that tends to produce nice results with shorter irons and increasingly large fades with my longer clubs, or a "timed release" sensation, which feels like clubhead throwaway, and sometimes produces powerful shots and sometimes produces hooks.

I feel like I'm close, but not quite getting it.
TIA for any help.

Thanks!

The hands in a hitters stroke should feel like a right hand heel thrust karate chop, which for me means a strong push with power accumulator #1 on PP#1. I feel that the motion of my hands driving hard down through and past my aiming point out weights any feel I have for the clubhead. Because my hands know where to go, the clubhead (PP#3) does too.
