Clubhead Throwaway . . . Not!

This is not an ideal occurence since it means that stored energy is released long before impact. It is kind of similar to the dreaded throwaway. But given how we are built it is perhaps unavoidable in a swing that starts hard and fast down.

Thanks, O.B. Left. We will use your upload and contrast with my own image in my post #202 (and its exception).
