Bucket's Question of the Week: I smell #2.

[Yoda]

...what is the "feel" of the snap release? Is it not a no release feel? If we overcook this and hang on then #2 isn't velocity sacrificed as well as being On-Plane?

During the Release Interval, the Snap Releases tend to Feel as a Swivel Action (Clubhead Control) even though there must be a definite Hinge Action (Clubface Control) during Impact itself. That is because the Delayed Uncocking of the Flat Left Wrist permits a Delayed Uncocking of the Right Elbow, and this, in turn, permits a faster Right Elbow straightening (and its consequent more rapid Paddle-Wheel Action). All this without disrupting the constant RPM of the Left Hand (Endless Belt Effect).
