Well, that would explain things.

However, when you do such a drill and physically 'let go' of the club with the Right Hand -- obviously emphasizing the Pivot, its Transport of the Power Package to Release and the subsequent centrifugally-driven Left Wrist Uncock and Left Hand Roll -- remember that you have also forfeited the Right Hand's Lag Pressure Point. And since Lag Pressure is the basis of the Golf Stroke, it must at some point be recaptured in the mind of both the Student and the Instructor.

I have personally experienced some very good ball striking with this method in the past. However, I know it was because my right hand/arm action was not up to scratch and by letting go, it could not disrupt the "centrifugally-driven Left Wrist Uncock and Left Hand Roll". It of course, didn't change the fact that I needed to do more work on my right side's role...

In any event, this conversation once again highlights the need for a unified Golfing Terminology. The word 'Release' in TGM has a very specific meaning -- an Out-of-Line Condition seeking its In-Line Condition.

And that meaning is far removed from a physical letting go of the club.

If we don't speak the same language, how can we possibly communicate?

Amen to that Yoda! I would have thought the same thing myself had I not seen and done the drill myself with Greg. It's the same reason I cannot stand reading golf magazines anymore
