“I don't believe that you can release the club too early, or start hitting too soon. All this talk about a “late release” or “saving your hit” -don't believe it. You want to get the club moving as fast as possible through impact, and you have a much better chance of doing that if you start releasing from the top of the downswing”.
How does that apply to Dustin Johnson for example. Seems to me that there are a ton of big hitters whose hands are doing little or nothing early in the downswing. They aren't trying to drag or pull them down plane, nor are they trying to release from the top or move them away from the target. I see a lot of closing the gap, throwing off the drunk, pulling up of the handle, etc........ but there are a lot of folks that don't have, or at least don't appear to have toss out. Someone like Mandrin is so much smarter than me we probably cant even have a conversation, but how would closing the gap later not produce more speed?
Why do long drivers get so narrow then catch up? All of their kinematic sequence numbers are probably similar if you were to hook them up on a k-vest I would think.......?
