On section 8-9, release starts at the point of release trigger and continues until impact.
This sounds like it is before impact.
The confusing thing is that Martin Hall in
[
quotes Jack Nicklaus who said the release is when the distance between the left shoulder and the clubhead is at its longest - and he demonstrates this in the followthru. It seems that Homer Kelley and Jack Nicklaus - according to Martin Hall - differ in their opinion in this matter . How can that be?
Release means to set free.
If the purpose of the backswing is to buld up and store power, which probably is the same as lag(?), that should mean that the release is the time and place in the down stroke where all this stored power and lag is set free. I guess that must be in front of impact from the so called delivery "position" and right thru impact. The result of this can possibly be seen in the followthru as Martin Hall (and Jack Nicklaus) was talking about? But then it is all over, I would think - and not where it actually takes place...
There are LOTS of threads in the forum about release.
Short answer is that the release occurs before impact and finishes after. In TGM terms release means an out-of-line condition seeking it's inline state (eg. straightening right arm). The sequence with which the accumulators release is different for hitters and swingers.
Some searches should give you more detail. I recommend starting with the oldest posts first, as you'll find some really good stuff from Yoda in the archive forums.

To be honest - I felt like drowning looking at hundreds of posts/threads, so I went for the quicker solution to take it up here once more. In addition I had the Martin Hall / Jack Nicklaus card that I thought gave it a new take?
