TRYING to straighten the right arm early in the downswing.

The real question is :
a) Does the golfer consciously trying to straighten his right arm or
b) Does the force of the clubhead motion overcome the force the golfer is using to keep his arm bend, generating quick violently straightening of the right arm or
c) Does the force of the clubhead motion reaches a certain peak value generating a trigger point for the golfer to unconsciously releasing the muscle that kept the right arm bend, so that the force of the clubhead motion is used to straighten the arm
---> and thus creating in those 3 scenarios the exact same diagram!

I think the golfer is consciously trying to THROW.....

What Ive noticed is if I start the unwind first I pull the ball left and long! but if I start with the trying to straighten the right arm first I get a straight shot more on target, I also noticed if I try to straighten my right arm more behind me instead of on the side of me I get a draw and more of a fade with straighting the arm more in front of me. Very interesting stuff!
Throw what?

Like you were standing on the edge of a tall building and you were throwing the club off of it—sorta on a 45° angle.

What an amazing video!!!!!!!
I try to throw my arm. Somewhat similar to throwing a football or if I was going to throw a baseball into the ground in front of me or punching something at an angle in front of me. If I don't "throw" or "release" I'm giving up a massive amount of speed in my hands and therefore clubhead speed. Keep your right arm bent, don't flex your trail wrist and don't pronate your trail forearm. You won't hit the ball that far
You probably can't stop some bend, flexion and pronation, but you won't hit a driver past 150 yards if you try to intentionally resist extension, flexion and pronation and just swing with your lead arm. Hogan knew there was a lot of power in the trail hand/wrist/forearm.

Might be called a throw if you want to launch something. However when trying to get a bucket of water on a string to it's maximum speed in a circular motion would you still call that a throw?
Frans@France

why? Do you throw your club away every time you try to hit a shot like with hammer throwing or do you try to accelerate your club into a circular motion making sure that at impact the speed is at his highest point?

Why a bucket of water on a string? do u swing your club like a bucket of water on a string?
Frans@France

yes, the shaft behaves like a string bending and lead/lagging and the head like the bucket filled with water due to its cog rotations during the swing. And like the string/bucket the shaft has little mass in relation to the head. And during impact the head behaves as there is no shaft, again like the bucket on a string....

Please dont think Im being an ass, Im thinking a small bucket similar in size as a driver head, better yet how about a driver head and connect a string to the head and connect the other end of the string to a grip and swing that as fast as normal driver swing and see what happens.

i just can't believe that the head behaves like there is no shaft. That just can't be possible.
