The Float Load, or Down Cocking Action seems to be seldom used or recommended anymore. Do most of you see this as a less desirable procedure? It does seem to cause some timing problems, and may tend to make some STEEP.

However, Mr. Nicklaus did quite well with this action.

What do you think is the proper, and improper way to execute this procedure?

I am a Swinger and use a Float Loading procedure. So far, there does not seem to be any problems. The only side effect thus far is that I hit it long and straight.

I think such a procedure really helps the smaller guys like me (5'9 and 155 lbs) keep up distance wise with the bigger boys. After mastering this procedure, my swing speed went up from 115mph when I was using a Full Sweep Release to 124mph.
