As late as possible while still releasing the club!
See Sergio.
Both arms are straight at "Follow Through."
BTW....in TGM Follow Through is the point just past impact where both arms are straight.

birdie...not everyone releases that early.
You have to find the type that suits you best.
Jery, i see you posted over here too huh

Jerry:
In a sweep release, the right arm starts to evenly straighten right from the top...not a cast mind you, but smooth straightening (ala Tom Watson). A snap releas is when the right arm starts to straighten as late as possible (I would say a Sergio or Charles Howell would be pretty good examples). Anything in the middle is random.
In my own estimation, if you feel the entire Power Package (arms and shoulders) not release anything until Release Point (or about waist high in the downswing), this would be pretty good for most (although everyone is different). Since I have a slight tendency to start unloading at the top, I try to feel the power pacage and bent righ arm, does nothing until about waist high. I all reality, it may start to straighten a bit before this, but the feeling is waist high.
On a side note, it one maintains radius of left arm while emploring Extensor Action, you will never go wrong!

Jerry,
The right arm will begin to straighten immediately on the downswing, which is a result of gravitational pull on the arm and club. This is a separate issue from the golfer actuating his arm in a pushing or throwing motion, which can be initiated at any point in the swing. (Shag knows.)

The two arms and shoulder line form a triangle, with the club extending from its tip.
At the tip of that triangle (where your hands meet), an angle is set, or 'loaded' and released, or 'unloaded'
There are also angles 'set' between:
power accumulator #1 - the bending/straightening of the right arm
power accumulator #2 - the cocking of the left wrist (in the plane of the forearm/thumb - no bending/arching (always keep the club and left arm 'in line)
power accumulator #3 - always keep the club and left arm 'in line' (think of 'rolling' your entire left forearm and club as a unit through impact) - this is transfer power
power accumulator #4 - The angle formed between the left arm and shoulder line
The 'package' is the angles you have 'set' in each of those accumulators being 'transported' by the power of the pivoting body until 'release', when either you intentionally 'do' something to release them (roll the forearms) or you 'allow' the forces you have generated to take over (CF throwing out the club).
So the power package is using rhythm when setting angles, to store power and release it at the proper time and in the proper direction
