Pivot, hip slide and release types
In watching professional swings. I have noticed something.
Players with more forward hip slide on the downswing tend to have a sweepier release, while those who have little apparent hip slide look to have a snappier release.
I noticed this when we were discussing the differences between Zach & Boo.
Does the amount of hip slide on the downswing "pre-determine" the type of release we have?

What is the release sequence?
What does hip slide do?

The sequence would be releasing accumulator#2 earlier and the greater amount of hip slide is making room for the release of #2
Does more hip slide = more pivot lag?

4, 1, 2, 3 for Max Trigger
I am thinking #2 is unloaded earlier (more sweepy) and to accomodate this more hip slide is necessary.

Slow down Festus . . . you gotta fill the wagon up with taterz before we take 'em down the hill.
#4 goes first right? What makes it go first?

Initial thrust of the pivot i.e. pivot lag
