Releases for Dummies
 

If this has been written all ready forgive me, and please post a link.

Can someone simply explain the difference between:

Random Sweep
Snap Release
Sweep Release

and any other release type I have missed!

Thanks
Steve

Three Release Points
 

(Full) Sweep -- The Release begins immediately during the Start Down.

Snap -- The Release is delayed as late into the Downstroke as possible.

Random Sweep -- The Release is Triggered somewhere in-between.

What are the advantages or disadvantages to each for hitting and swinging?

Releases
 

Thanks.

Snap would be used by someone that holds lag until the last moment before impact?

Re: Releases
 

Yes but just to clarify and be more specific, its accumulator lag not the clubhead lag...

Accumulator lag - is how long the out of line conditions of the power package are kept before they are released

Clubhead Lag - is the clubhead trying to get in line with pp3

Snap Release vs Max Trigger Delay
 

Now here's a question that'll get you thinking:

What is the difference between Snap Release and Max Trigger Delay?

Are they synonymous?

Further questions for consideration:

Is it possible to use a Sweep Release with Max Trigger Delay.
Or a Snap Release with Min Trigger Delay?


I actually asked Lynn this question live -- unfortunately, I did not have a chance to record his response, and I haven't quite fully incubated his words of wisdom with my little brain. So I can't remember the model answers to the above questions!

Coming to terms with the Release
 

A bit more information would be helpful.

What is the definition of "release"? :wink:

Re: Coming to terms with the Release
 

Uncock and Roll (4-D-0).

Interval where the Clubhead is "overtaking" the hands (2-P and 6-F-0).

Curved portion of the Endless Belt (2-K #6) when the Clubhead goes from linear travel to radial travel.

The bottom arc of the Delivery Path. See 9-3-9.

Interesting questions!!

I would think a Sweep with Max Trigger and a Snap with Min Trigger would both end up looking like a RANDOM of some kind.

Concerning Releases... have any of you tried 10-24-F?

Re: Snap Release vs Max Trigger Delay
 

Tongzilla,
Interesting question.

Forgive me, but I cannot recall a 'maximum trigger delay' or a 'minimum trigger delay'. Perhaps you can guide me to where it is in the book.

That being said, you got me a thinkin (bad move!).

Isnt max trigger delay and snap the same? I am thinking max trigger delay might be a Mac term we are all familiar with, or I am missing something.

What do you think?

Thanks,
Patrick
