The late Release does add power and Hogan's swing is so beautiful but its not for everybody. Where would Steve Stricker be today if he'd gone back home three years ago to work on Snap Release?
For the Swinger #2 Angle Throwout is Velocity Power. 4,2,3 with 2 providing most of the snot. Imagine throwing a club down the fairway .....first with a longitudinal spear chucking action, then with a whirling radial. The last one goes way further. #2 Throwout and Throwaway are not the same!!!!!! Homer was not anti Throwout!!!!!!
The longitudinal acceleration delays Release , CF Throwout, but Throwout is what its all about. See Release Triggers. Like a three stage rocket ......its all about getting that third stage in the right place at the right time going a certain speed so it can then do its thing.
Most guys dont have enough Longitudinal, they throwout radially too early , its far less common but too much longitudinal is a problem too.
If the ski boat never takes the corner (radial) the skier never gets thrownout , never gets going any faster than the boat speed. Straight line, longitudinally, they accelerate together with no cf throw out forces in play, then the boat takes the corner and the skiers speed accelerates sharply, Radially.
Ive got my lab coat here but I dont think the Hands can really go straight line for any length of time but......some paths are straighter than others and have less CF throwout forces in play during Longitudinal. Mr Doyles Hand Path for instance is a straight ish one. Stopping at Top helps I believe. Mr Yoda does this as well and I dont think its because he's 600 years old. Hogan floated from End to Top and then went straightish line with the Hands. He's getting his skier aligned behind his boat or on the other side of the direction of throwout.
I did some doodles on this a while back maybe Ill put em up some day for everyone to have a laugh. The other consideration is the move from the Pivot Center to the left shoulder as Center of the Arm Swing during Release, in my diagram the radius gets longer in the process......like a bike switching gears. Got my goggles and pocket protector on now too.
I dunno , its a crazy game, a nutty book and its played by a bunch of lunatics. Anyone who's reading this is nuts.
But back to Doyle. If you are continually teaching folks for 30 years who are flipping the crap out of it and coming in clubhead way in front of the hands, I can see why he would use his method.
I doubt many folks over cook it to get in his front shaft leaning position.
Hell it took me two years of constant practice and monitoring to keep from flipping from the top. Now if i can just get it down to the ball without flipping it before visiting the pine box ill be happy. I think the hip action is the key. Plus more visits to Cuscawilla.
