I'd still like to hear how people load it . . . I think picking up the loading is huge . . . but to me it is more of a subtle deal.
Thanks for that, 12 piece. As i understand it there are only 3 ways to load. Drive Loading, Drag Loading and Float Loading. Is that about right?

I use more of a Drag Loading style but the feeling in the downswing is very heavy, I think due to my using a sweep release. Does that make any sense? Is this where you are going with the topic?

Yeah I think so . . . I think if you are more "sweepy" you'll feel heavier because more sweep requires more hand speed to generate the same clubhead speed that a snap release would.

I think "quick" is a problem though. . . .leading to too much loading that can't be sustained for the swinger.

The feeling of quick or being out of control in relationship to the shot I want to hit has more to do with the delivery path. If i'm off the line then all kinds of uncontrolable speed takes place.

Getting it started on the right path makes it easier to sustain, for me. As far as a snap release...i have a hard time timing that one so i don't have much experience with it. It would seem aiming point would be crucial.

Ben Doyle says, “Always Quick- Never hurried.” There is a difference.

I'd like to ask a question....how does the "karate chop" relate to a sweep release?

Kinda does and kinda doesn't . . . if you are using Standard Wrist Action you want your right plam up to the plane and left palm facing the plane. With a snap release you are going to keep that alignment FEEL as if there were no release at all. With a sweep release you still will have the alignment you will just not drag it down as deep and steep. More of a circle type feeling than a straight line deal.

Yes, the "quick" feeling of hitting before the backswing is complete actually gives me a heavy feeling throughout the swing. Is this the "quick" that is being talked about?
