Yes, Trigger Delay. However, if the player SAYS he THROWS it right from the TOP, but still has a Snap Release with VISUAL Trigger Delay... how do you explain that?
The Player is confusing 'Feel' with 'real.' The Throw -- the Release Trigger -- can occur as early as possible, as late as possible or somewhere in between. But, once Triggered, the Release occurs and that's it for this time 'round.
You simply cannot Release the Club at the Topand at the Side (or later) during the same Stroke.
