Now, this is power!

I think you will be pleasantly surprised!

Pleasantly surprised indeed!

Yoda, I managed to do as you advised, and it worked nicely .
As expected there is a real gain in power: It produces the same distance as with Swinging out of my shoes with a ton of lag pressure in it BUT with less energy.
This gives a feel of control. Maybe because you don't leave the shot to centrifugal force alone.

Speaking of control, I played with the Non-Automatic Random Sweep Release (10-24-B): If I delay the release very late in the shot, I end up with a huge amount of thrust! -> even more power and a violent sound of compression on the ball! Unbelievable!

I believe it happens because by delaying the release very late, the right arm stays loaded, the right shoulder is low and there is a lot of right arm to drive the ball to china!

So, if the shot requires a lot of thrust, delay the right arm throw to the maximum and for a softer shot, trigger the right arm throw earlier.

I may add that it is also very important to use ACC#4 with a slow start down to prevent some sort of throwaway. It may be related to what Yoda said: think Drive and "Unrelenting Thrust" through Impact.

A short backswing is also better (Notice that the last 2 points are Hitter's caracteristics).


However I wonder what kind of trajectory a 4 barrel stroke facilitates (draw/fade)?
I tend to think that it is a angled hinge, thanks to the right arm thrust BUT I often got a slight draw...(even with wedges!) maybe centrifugal force has something to do with that?
