I agree with birdie_man, that would make for an extremely good looking swing.

Thanks for the observation guys, that will be the next thing for me to work on.

neil,
I am unable to give you a definite answer as regards the right wrist.
All I know is that when I play on the course now, what was once unreachable is now within reach.
As regards your comment, "It is interesting that nowhere in the book does Homer equate the acc#2ANGLE to lag pressure", is it in reference to my quoting 6-C-2-D?

That's a great looking swing Comdpa. When I looked at the two photos I initially thought there was quite a bit more secondary axis tilt in the one on the left, but apart from the greater accumulator lag in the right one, I think the biggest difference is the angle of your head - its more alighned with your spine in the left pic.
Just my 2c.

No, not at all. It is purely a statement of fact which for years I had wrong  Great swing by the way!

Maybe but he does have more tilt in the sweep release. You can tell by looking at the tilt of the hips.

jim_0068,
Your observation is right once again and puts paid to the idea that one needs to have excessive axis tilt (what Lynn terms as a "perverted idea of an axis tilt") to achieve a Max Trigger Delay.
Per the glossary:
Axis Tilt: "To change the plane of the Shoulder Turn without moving the Head, the golfer must tilt the Shoulder Axis by moving the Hips."
Balance: "Holding the center of gravity of the body inside The Stance without moving the Head."
Stationary Head: "Choosing the Head - rather than Between-the-Shoulders as the Pivot Center."
Remember, The Golfing Machine should be read as a collective whole just like other manuals instead of topically.
Thus, when we examine these three entries above, we can readily see that the hip slide is only a mere 2-3 inches, for anymore than that will cause the Head to move out of the Pivot Center as well as cause excessive axis tilt.
To cherrypick would be a sure way to misinterpretation, we must use the book to interpret the book.

Good pictures, and good looking Float Load!
Could we possibly some DOWN THE LINE pictures of your Float Loading procedure, and maybe the other also?
Also... do you use Standard, Single , or Double Wrist Action when employing the Float Load?

blah...baloney.
You slide as much as you need too to allow the right shoulder to go downplane.
Your amount of "tilt" will vary depending on your backswing pivot and your flexibility.
----
So maybe you need "more tilt" to achieve a maximum trigger delay, but how is that "perverted" if the right shoulder is going down plane properly and the right forearm is on plane at impact?

Hi Frank,
Thanks for the kind words.
I will get together some down the line photographs of a snap release as well as a full sweep release.
With regards to my Left Wrist Action, I will say that it is Standard with a touch of Double Wrist Action.
