I believe the great pivot that Mike Austin has give hime that early release feeling but when you see his body components which eventually lead to his clubhead they are all lagging each other.
I saw Oglivey on the Golf Channel last night and he said when he looked at his swing on video it was exactlly the opposite of what he thought he was doing and would not ever look at his swing again. No video analysis that I am aware of knows what the golfer was thinking. I know when I hit my best shots they just happen and I have no idea what I did.
Just my opinion. I do think Brian did a great job of analyzing the swing as the picture shows it and even though he is not short of ego I don't believe he has learned how to read minds while watching a video. At least I don't think he has worked much on that yet.
But like you say everyone to their own opinion.

Sir davel
I have Never Ever seen Two Pro or amateur swings that were the same.
People have to get that. Even Identical twins are different.
Its the concepts in the mind that control the muscles of the body that make or break a swing.
You Swing Good or You swing Bad.
I have studied Mikes swing and never get tired of of it.
The hands must be square and flat to the target at impact in Mikes swing or any swing to make the ball fly straight.
Tom Bartlett said:
The point Mike makes is the Clubhead "Accelerates Through" impact. Then allowed to continue to pass the left arm.
And that the arms cross over High After impact only when the right arm is horozontal to the ground.
Then finally the right arm pulling the right shoulder "under out and up" to finish.
The so called "Secret to Mikes added length" (at 70 yrs old. 310 yds).
Is "Not Holding" that flat position driving down into the ground.
Mike swung Under, Out and UP with a 180* swing from the wrists.
Stimulus at the top, the transition.
That was his primary Force. The 12 levers with the Pivot controlled the plane and acted as positioners, and secondary force.
The Pivot negated the Cast, so one could throw the club as fast as you want.
At the back swing the spine becomes an extension of the right leg to the top.
On the foreswing the spine becomes an extension of the left leg.
So you must be posted atop the left femur bone as the right shoulder drops. (you simply shorten the right leg)
The shoulders can't turn out. or you cut or pull.
When you perform the swing.
The head stays back and rotates down with with the torso through impact.
Its a really sweet feeling.
You don't have to defend Sir Brian, I respect his analysis and opinion. As we all should respect each others.
To Listen is to learn.
He's a self made man.
The only thing that sacks about Sir Brian is the cell phone headset he uses, and thats probably Chinas fault.
