Could you tell me a bit more on your thought while doing your snap?
Where did you aim your thrust for your driver? How far back behind the ball? At the ball, the sternum, the right foot?
Just a bit of experiment, can you put on a stronger grip, and try to put the right forearm on plane at address, and try to have zero - single shift.(See whether you will feel anything different with your right knee at address, with that strong grip and the right forearm position) Could you show me a Sweep release (non-automatic), with slower wrist action.
well, i didnt snap on purpose and if brian says i actually dont snap at all i guess there just is no snap. i just thought there was.. but maybe i also confused the terms snap and flip a bit.. i just do feel that the inconsistence especially on my short irons comes from bad timing with my hands (althought about that im not so sure about anymore, maybe its also the forearms or the body shifting)
since you were asking about the driver.. here a shot from 3 weeks ago or so:

dont have a driver shot from the front unfortunately :/
the thrust hmmm.. if you mean at the impact, id say theres a lot of thrust on my left knee.
or do you mean the thrust in my driver as in: where does it have the greatest speed? i would say with my driver that may be slightly after the ball then, around the left toes's height prolly.
with a stronger grip you mean, to just hold the club more firm? or a stronger right hand?
isnt my right forearm already pretty much on the plane at adress?

erm, opposite my right foot? if my imagination of what you mean is correct i think ill rather hit fat shots instead of tops?

You need to STAY BEHIND THE BALL ON THE DOWNSWING.

or rather, not moving center forward as it is now
am i right when i say that means, more body rotation and less shifting?
I am just trying to go through the book with you. As it is difficult to workout someone who is a Swinger and Hitter, where you are the only one where you can tell IMO. I presume the question you are asking, you must be a Swinger.
If we look at the book 6-E-2 that is the Aiming Point Concept. The Thrust I am talking about is just like Cracker a Whip, you are aiming the force to a point (IT IS DIFFERENT IN AIMING YOUR HAND)
I was asking you to aim the force to the back foot, now here is a formula for Automatic Release
Fast hand - you should aim the force further back (Closer to a SWEEP)
Slow hand - you can aim the force further to the front (Closer to a SNAP)
Also, it is dependent on the club you are using... longer and lighter club, should aim further back, heavier and shorter club further forward. Where it is all related to the speed.
Is just like bunker shot, you are aiming behind, but the intention is hitting the ball. As per 6-E-2. Experiement it with or without a ball, and aim at various location with different hand speed, you will be amaze the more you aim back, the more forward it will bring your club head to. (Apart from the wrist and hand action, you should be able to feel the CF and let the CF to take care of the accumulator)
By doing the above, experiement, if you can aim the force very close to the ball, then you are doing a SNAP, and if you not, then you must be doing something else.
By as per 12-2-0 Homer mention - Avoid "customizing" it with other Variation until it approaches the "expert" stage. Then follow 3-B
I think it might not be a bad idea to really work through 12-2-0 and try Non-Auto-Sweep and focus on your wrist action (Trigger by the CF)
Looking at your previous swing, I just look at your right foot ... a question there, although is no big deal of having the right foot over rotate at finish.. But I learn that when ever there is a leakage on a player stroke, the right foot will always over rotate. (Particular for those having poor hand action)
Stengthen your Lag loading, you may try to put up with a 10-2-F grip and hit...IMO, this is one of the way of practising Lag Loading... By having a 10-2-F grip (Ugly grip), it should give, even a beginner, to have better alignment in practising Lag Loading... where the shoulder tilt, knee poistion, plane angle,hand action prepare all set automatically. For Advance player like yourself, I think it might be no harm in player with it too.
I think it is always a good idea for TGMer to practise 12-1 and 12-2 where it is easier to tell what is Black, if we learn what is White.
