birly-shirly,
I can't remember why I bought it but it is quite interesting. I got it from Amazon a few years back. The author John Wilson Barrett lives in Wolverhampton, England.
Can't blame that on M.J. see below, good try though, 8 years you waited for that and you blew it. Weak, try again in another 8, but come prepared.

THIS IS HOW I FIGURED IT OUT: After watching Jacobs first video I tried to just get my hands to the low point he describes and then turn the handle up and in. Well trying to take the hands directly to the low point while intentionally maintaning lag will not create a circle or arc. After I watched the 2nd video it started to make sense. So in order for the butt of the club to come up and in on a circle. The circle has to be started early. All the way from the top of the bs. I feel like I'm pushing the club away from my left foot, left hip and left shoulder. All the while forming a circle with my hands. I can actually see the circle developing while I swing. Then the Hands reach a low point under the sternum. It is around this time I really think about butt of the club coming up and in towards me like I'm putting a little extra curl at the end of the letter C if you were looking from a face on view. Also don't forget to push that left shoulder as far from the ball at impact as you can. Interesting note: If you are used to swinging with very passive arms and hands this will feel very different. I was noticing I could hit shots just as good with tight grip pressure as loose. Totaly crazy!! Believe me it works

I have a copy as well. I'm going to pull it out and read it. I've always felt like the more I try to get my hands in front of the ball, the faster the club passes them and forces me to flip. My best ballstriking round of my life I just tried to feel like I was "releasing" the club from the top in a wide arc. I've never been able to recapture that feel, but perhaps now knowing the ideas behind it will allow me to stick with it until it is ingrained.

to get "orthogonal" to the arms and club (on a belly view) you would need two cameras (or maybe 15 cameras) since they swing down on different angles.....when you start thinking about the 2D/3D video camera conundrum, it really makes you want to drop kick your camera into a lake....
great videos mike - looking forward to understanding more about how really fast moving centers of gravity can be "let go" or "manipulated" by hand action

Bet you've been checking post counts for a while now, just waiting for an opening to make that preppy comment, but I've been posting here for years, before they changed my user name. Your's maybe should be changed to footinthemouth.

So your saying that the acceleration of the left shoulder is what powers the release and not the hands/arms?

I believe it's your foot in your mouth and you can't read very well. Point out where I said anything about a post count, I said eight years you waited for that and you confirmed you have been here posting for years, I mean you took my post and quoted the portion that say's exactly that. Maybe you need another username change, lets see..... how about "idiot who can't read" No wonder you made a stupid post about M.J.'s video, watch the 3rd video and get an education.

That is the golden paragraphLag is the RESULT of a proper "release."
A proper Kinetic Sequence is the RESULT of a proper "release."
75% of all the speed in your golf swing comes from your shoulder complexes, your arms, your wrists, and your hands.

I saw that term in one of my old timie golf instruction books. If you want to know where, I'll did through the stack of books. The concept never helped me much.
