Releases for Dummies

[wolfman]

If this has been written all ready forgive me, and please post a link.

Can someone simply explain the difference between:

Random Sweep
Snap Release
Sweep Release

and any other release type I have missed!

Thanks

Can someone simply explain the difference between:

Random Sweep
Snap Release
Sweep Release

(Full) Sweep -- The Release begins immediately during the Start Down.

Snap -- The Release is delayed as late into the Downstroke as possible.

Random Sweep -- The Release is Triggered somewhere in-between.

What are the advantages or disadvantages to each for hitting and swinging?

Thanks.

Snap would be used by someone that holds lag until the last moment before impact?

Thanks.

Yes but just to clarify and be more specific, its accumulator lag not the clubhead lag...

Accumulator lag - is how long the out of line conditions of the power package are kept before they are released

Clubhead Lag - is the clubhead trying to get in line with pp3

Now here's a question that'll get you thinking:

What is the difference between Snap Release and Max Trigger Delay?

Are they synonymous?

Further questions for consideration:

Is it possible to use a Sweep Release with Max Trigger Delay.
Or a Snap Release with Min Trigger Delay?


I actually asked Lynn this question live -- unfortunately, I did not have a chance to record his response, and I haven't quite fully incubated his words of wisdom with my little brain. So I can't remember the model answers to the above questions!

A bit more information would be helpful.

What is the definition of "release"?

Uncock and Roll (4-D-0).

Interval where the Clubhead is "overtaking" the hands (2-P and 6-F-0).

Curved portion of the Endless Belt (2-K #6) when the Clubhead goes from linear travel to radial travel.

The bottom arc of the Delivery Path. See 9-3-9.

Interesting questions!!

I would think a Sweep with Max Trigger and a Snap with Min Trigger would both end up looking like a RANDOM of some kind.

Concerning Releases... have any of you tried 10-24-F?

Tongzilla,
Interesting question.

Forgive me, but I cannot recall a 'maximum trigger delay' or a 'minimum trigger delay'. Perhaps you can guide me to where it is in the book.

That being said, you got me a thinkin (bad move!).

Isnt max trigger delay and snap the same? I am thinking max trigger delay might be a Mac term we are all familiar with, or I am missing something.

What do you think?

Thanks,
Patrick
