I think back to Thomasello's letter series videos where he says release the club from the top......but on video it will look like one is delaying the hit.
Perhaps the video frame by frame gives a false impression, as TT alluded to back in the day.
Where is the right hand on the club? Under the left. Another "seems to be." Austin felt like he threw ubnderhanded. A CF uncocking and roll might feel like an underhand motion to some, especially to someone a little flip and talking from a feel. He might be blocking or holding (STEERING) a HH into a vertical hinge alignment.

And his early release, like a sweep release isn't a casting move. It is a steady release to the Store position then into impact. He feels like he does, talks like he does, but his clips show something different.

Homer said never listen to what they say- watch what they do.

Every Austin sequence or clip I have, he looks different.
