Intent: If you have constant acceleration from the top past impact - then you have constant lag pressure- in that regard there is no release, no release feel. The clubhead lags behind the hands - doesn't get thrown past the hands during release.

That creates a situation where the right wrist is more bent, which creates a condition where the right arm is more bent at impact, which creates a condition where the clubhshaft can arrive at impact on the proper lie angle that is built into it, creating a right shoulder that is lower at impact, which creates a condition where there is more lateral bend of the trunk at impact, which creates a condition where the hips have slid out of the way, which creates the knee rolling in and the right ankle rolling in.

In contrast, you have the intent or habit of releasing the club, throwing it past the hands in the effort or belief to get power, which flattens out the right wrist, which straightens the right arm, which raises the clubshaft angle through impact, which creates a high right shoulder, creating little lateral bending of the trunk through impact, creating less hip slide movement, creating right knee and ankle movements that move out and up - as opposed to in and around. This results in a finish position of the body with little side bend into the follow-through.
