TGM said that the left wrist is cocked and uncocked ( Accumulator #2 release) by the bending right arm and the right arm is part of release and is thrown into impact. That would make release start at the point the right arm starts to straighten.

Good observation and I agree with the conclusion but perhaps not with the premises. The premise being the frozen right wrist. Take a look at Bobby's right wrist down there. It is maximally bent and I bet that it isn't level anymore either. If you add wristbend and wrist cock in your right wrist as you straighten the right elbow you can hold accumulator #2 even though you straighten the right elbow. I've studied a few supposed to be TGM snap releases and I always see increase right wrist bend and wrist cock just prior to the accumulator #2 release.

I am quite convinced that snap releasers increase the angle between the shaft and their right forearm from the top down to where the Accumulator#2 starts to release. And you can't do that without increasing the combination of right wrist bend and wrist cock.

So I think that is part of it.

The other part is that you initiate your down stroke with a combination of hula and spine side bending - basically tilting your right shoulder straight down towards right pocket. So you drive the right shoulder deeper and fartner. That allows you to keep your pith elbow longer without cheating.

The frame labled release would be the intermediate point of the 2-3 sequence where #3 becomes dominant. If a golfer trys to force the hands deep before release he gets cocking of the right hand. This may look good and as HK said is hard to detect but is throwing the club at the ball. What do you think?? I would like to fix that because I think I(and many others) "TRY and get late release" and that is wrong Per. TGM

I think you can do the increased right wrist thing without throwing the club. The inertia of the club will do the increase for you if you find a hand path that prevents the clubhead from starting the release before very very late. If you look at Garcia and some other guys with a fast transition (which is typical for swingers) you will also see they put a huge load on the clubshaft during transition. A strong pivot rotation and a clubhead that resists it will increase the angle between the right hand and the club shaft.. Keeping the pressure on the right foot for a long time in the down stroke should keep the pully size small and help to delay the release I think.
