Occasionally I'll re-read some things to see if my level of understanding has increased to where I may interpret things differently. I came across this passage in Nick Faldo's book and it sounds a lot like things that have been discussed around here lately. Feel free to give me the needle about my man crush.....it may be growing stronger.
"What happens from here in starting the downswing is that your arms PULL down a few inches (recovery? Tangential?). It is smooth, not exaggerated; they have simply gone up to the top and then pull down a little. As they move down, you should now feel the right hand is going to stay in its cocked position but will now be BEHIND the shaft, having the feeling of being able to THROW the club OUT and round at the ball through impact (definition of tumble). Most people are confused by the idea of late hittting and think it means delay in the downward uncocking of the wrists. That isn't late hitting. What we mean by late hitting is the cocking back of the right wrist and they way in which the hand and wrist release the club back through the ball (Noren tumble drill).
