In the background, Dr. Feddler Von Schtickle, The World's Foremost Authority, pile driving the coupling point.
 
How about a video of a top player (as an example) not doing what these Tour players do? From the eyes of a non-expert it looks like a natural release. Nobody holding on thru impact. I would guess most of the top players do this. No?

It seems like Nicklaus is a great model for the KOWN-COMO pivot, eh?

Not sure I see why. Looks to me like a lot of rotation, but I will be the first to admit that you can't see much on video. Could you highlight the main reason why you think it is a K-C pivot?

KWON-COMO Pivot:

Step on the right foot—push up toward the right ear—push off the right foot to get the COP to the left—from the left foot, push up toward the left ear.

That's what Nicklaus is doing here.
