Thanks to Homer for getting it right when he says no hand effort toward the target, but no thanks to Hogan for his misleading 2HBP illustration in 2L, which 99 of 100 readers will take to mean a horizontal hand/arm effort through impact, i.e. steering, disrupting impact alignments, stifling CF, and distorting the arc of the clubhead.
Thanks for the clarity MJ. Brilliant!

Im struggling with release and in need of some wisdom....i have been getting mixed results and indeed mixed distances with my Swinging Pattern,as I getting in to release,I feel that my swing centre is far too early just using the rotating shoulders and gravity,and cent /force,I have been playing with manually getting my R/elbow more into the "pitch"position.
This seems to be getting my hands into a better position for releasing than just using Shoulder/rotation,my pivot feels ok but my swing feels "better" by moving my r/elbow and has the feeling that I pulling the shaft down into release in a straighter line from the top.
Am I doing something wrong by using this action or is it OK?

Try keeping your elbows close together at address and all the way to the top, like Hogan suggests in 5L, and you won't have to move it. Then make sure all the pulling is done by pushing the right shoulder.

This is a lost point for most. There is no left arm pull for any strokes that include #4 pivot power. For a Pull Minor Basic Stroke a one accumulator stroke that zeroes the pivot yes you pull the left arm with left arm muscle . But for other strokes the left arm , the #4 accumulator is moved, thrown off , by the pull of the Pivot , the left shoulder specifically since it attaches to the left , which is directed and powered by the on plane push of right shoulder and before it the hips . Assuming ground up, swinging from the feet.
