trigger and release point

[dannyc]

could any one expand/point to a thread where these are discussed? from my understanding, the trigger starts the downswing, and the release point is where you begin to release your accumulators...
what would be some examples of triggers?
what is release point? is it defined in terms of where the shaft is in relation to the ground (i.e., vertical or horizontal)? i know there are options...what is optimal?
thanks!

I do believe the trigger is WHAT starts the releasing.

Release point is the WHEN.

(TGM stuff)

Ideal is prolly Snap. (latest) More power potential. But so long as you have a good, strong pivot, clubface control, and are throwaway free (i.e. NOT flipping it) you will be OK with an earlier-than-Snap. If that's what is gonna end up working for you.

i.e. Release Point wise...........optimal for you is whatever it happens to be.

i.e., which accumulator releases first?


Release point is the WHEN.
i.e., when the grip reaches left thigh...or i.e., when the shaft reaches horizontal?

i guess what i am wondering is if this is something that one should practice...releasing accums at certain points for certain shots...

i.e., which accumulator releases first?

The sequence of accumulator release is 4123. Accumulators 1,2 and 4 are connected: when the left arm blasts off the chest (4), the right arm must straighten (1), which uncocks the left wrist (2). Normally #3 is released as a result of these actions, it would be quite un-golflike not to release it.

No doubt about it Danny.

Along with axis tilt...............it's primarily how you control height.

Very simply......if you release it later and the shaft leans more forward.....lower shot.

Vice versa for higher. And axis tilt is also particularily important for high shots.
