I have!!! And when I don't freak out and do something strange, that top of the BS position really lets me feel the release.
I think one of the most telling quotes from the whole "Release" thread was when someone asked Brian about the validity of the Soft Draw pattern in light of the Release, and he replied (paraphrasing): "Boy, I was on to something, wasn't I?"
Soft Draw allows for a softer left arm and wrist at the top, and really allows you to flick the crap out of the club into impact. For whatever reason, it seems to allow me to really "leverage the flick" with minimal effort, and without "pivoting like crazy" to get the club back to the ball.
In general, I think the Across the Line, soft left arm/wrist position really lets you leverage the flick, whether you specifically are using SD or some other slightly modified pattern. Just ask Fred Couples, right?
Personally, Soft Draw was the first pattern Brian ever taught me, and for whatever reason, I moved away from it over time. Suffice it to say, I don't think I'll be making that mistake again. I think I've "re-found" my pattern again. If I can get rid of a few errant shots per round, I have a feeling my scores are going to start dropping again.
