Unfortunately, I cannot understand your position. You write-: "Whereas with a non-automatic release there is a conscious triggering or "hit it now" deal. This would be done with the selected Throw. You can basically "start" your release anywhere in the downstroke . . . early or late." You seem to be implying that when a golfer triggers the downswing with a selected throw (eg. right shoulder throw) that the downswing triggering action also triggers the release in a non-automatic manner. I cannot understand this point. From my perspective, a trigger starting the downswing pivot action cannot be the same trigger used to trigger a non-automatic release. For example, I happen to chose a right shoulder throw maneuver to trigger my downswing pivot action, but my release happens automatically (what 6b mike implies is an "uncontrolled" release). In other words, I cannot understand how there can be an ironclad causal connection between a downswing pivot action trigger and a non-automatic release action. Could you please expand on this point? Also, you state that the non-automatic release could theoretically be activated anywhere in the downswing. That seems to be inherently true of the phrase "non-automatic". Then, how can the selected throw be the causative event if the selected throw occurs at the very start of the downswing, but the chosen non-automatic release occurs much later in the downswing? Jeff. Gotta run to Raleighwood this morning . . . I'll get you some book quotes tonight and we'll hash this out. I went through this in my mind once as well and need to brush up on it. But basically with an automatic release the effort is NOT to release anything. I'll get back witcha. __________________ Aloha Mr. Hand Behold my hands; reach hither thy hand 12 piece bucket View Public Profile Send a private message to 12 piece bucket Find all posts by 12 piece bucket
