OK, so you want to release that shaft with your hands as fast as you can throught impact. Great. Let's do it. And so, as the scientists have pointed out, the low point of the clubhead arc will be pretty much occur when the shaft becomes vertical, perpendicular to the Plane Line..............a different kind of "line-up", if you will. So where do you want the Low Point and this line-up of the shaft to occur? Well, like all aspects of technique for great ball-strikers, there is a "range". But a pretty tasty model to use is that of Tom Watson. Notice that the straight left arm and shaft become in-line and vertical directly below the left shoulder. The double pendulum model perfectly exemplified by a human.......a human "machine", really. Hard to deny that there is something special about Tom's effortless, rythymical, free release.
