Should everyone allow their right wrist to go from bent to arch in the release phase? Should everyone go "completely normal" through impact? Should everyone slow their body down on the downswing and allow the arms to close the gap?
Ah.......no.
Just like not everyone should "zero out" and not everyone should aim left to do it. The customized golf swing is alive and well, and that includes the release phase of the swing.
What we have at the Manzella Academy and the Golf Research Corp. (home of Project 1.68), is more good, solid, hard, correct information about how the golf swing really works than we ever had. The entire golf instruction biz will have more after Anti-Summit II. Progress is here.
A really good question is "how does a teacher determine what pattern a student should use?"
What grip, what set-up, backswing, etc. And what kind of release? The answer is easy and not so easy at the same time.
It takes a LOT of time giving lessons under pressure. The 10,000 hour rule is not enough here. You have to have that probably, but you need something else as well—you need TALENT.
Not all teachers have that kinds of "design" talent. And some of the folks who might have it, don't know if they do, because they are method teachers. Or they are spending—or maybe it's wasting—too much time trying to retro-fit junk science.
Most golfers STILL need to square the clubface, and there is still a gamma (twist) component. How many teacher's even know this exists?
What the "release" thread era has made oh so clear is this:
The most important decision you will make picking a golf instructor is making sure they customize everything.
And can.
