Proper fitting plays a pivotal role. I do believe in getting the forearms on the same plane as the clubshaft, just as in the full swing witht the right forearm, so the arms and putter shaft are moving in the same plane. It is a mechanical disadvantage to not have the forearms in plane with the putter shaft because of the arms and putter moving in different planes.
I don't know if you would call it a "release" of the putter face. I feel the angled hinge suits putting well and I attempt to explain it by "allowing the toe to always move further than the heel." You can use any of the hinges putting, but I prefer to have the face stay square to the arc of the stroke. THis will result in an angled hinge.
The term "release" should not be thought of as a wrist throw or breakdown. Often I see players that throw the putter with their wrist during the downstroke but I can assure you they are not very good putters.
