Loading and Releasing = Lag and Thrust = to the top and onto the ball.
Loading is to establish lag on the backswing. Lag is best known as a cocking of the left wrist and bending of the right wrist- basic Flying Wedges- but there is also a pivot lag that keeps the clubhead lagging the hands. We can get into that later. You are loading your Power Package
LOAD:
Sweep load is an even smooth loading of the hands and body starting early in the stroke.
Snap load is a late loading in the backswing, near the top.
Random is a pre-determined point along the way.
RELEASE:
There are three release points- Sweep, Random Sweep and Snap and two release types
non-automatic and automatic.
Sweep- a long constant slow release of the power package and its accumulators.
Random Sweep is just like Sweep except you train to have a pre-determined point delaying the release. Tom Watson uses either Random or Sweep
Snap- sometimes mis-called a late hit, releases the club with a strong powerful whiplash motion (ala Ernie Els)
Non- automatic is a deliberate manipulation of the release.
Automatic allows the club to release own its own as the hands drive to an aiming point ahead of the clubhead. The clubhead will have no other option but to release down onto the ball as the hands and pivot finish their assigned tasks. Swingers use Automatic release.
