Thanks BerntR

Let me only comment on what you have said here.

I fully agree HungryBear. It is not possible to draw a straight line with the left arm in a golf down stroke.

These delivery lines must be more feel than real. There is a sharp turn by the end of the straight line that interests me. Because that's the point where the Accumulator #2 is released.

I regard the straight line as the part of the delivery path where the longitudinal work should be maximised, and any work that migh trigger the throw out is avoided or at least kept to a minimum.

Just the purest longitudinal pull of the butt end of the club. PP#1 only for drivers. Minimum shaft loading basically. With a snap release you should feel how the load increases quite suddenly when the throw-out starts. And from there on you can't have to much shaft loading. With some practice you should be able to time it deliberately.

With a "straight line" approach you pretty much keep A#2 till your hand have come a long way down towards the ball, and then you either force it to go (non automatic release) or it is forced automatically. I often use aiming point to guide where and when this happens.

I have a different elbow position feel for swinging than hitting. I believe Yoda uses the same, at the side , elbow for both swing and hit. I had a problem swinging because I ran out of arm with the at-side so swinging i try and get the right elbow as far down as possible. at release #2 sweetspot on plane, only then does right forearm start to straighten. #2 is uncocking left, straightening right. . at a point (by feel)[after In had traced the plane line many times so I knew where to swivel] I start to swivel left hand vertical to plane. now as I get closer to low point #3 goes on by CF and KEEPS ITSELF vertical and #2 releas slows down. becoming level at low point. as #3 goes around the cf becomes less because #2 is less. I have to do the infront elbow swinging or I become all blocked out. I have a little move that HK never mentions. To prevent premature release I will hook the index finger of the right hand and hold the shaft against #3 (top load before release). All the release points are #3 monitored and I feel the roll top to aft as I go through release swivel.
For me this aiming only works on full swings where there is a period of linear acceleration. And I am always adjusting timing. different releases dependent on power, swing length hitting, swinging I still have no formula or locked in method so it is like invention on every shot . invention by practice swing. Is that the way it shoul be?
