Hogan's got a longer lever there a driver which requires more time to release all things being equal . Which is why some Aiming Points are in front of the ball (not on the target side of the ball) for that lever length. Mine is anyways but my 910 D3 does have an open face on it.

Id take a lesson from Ben Doyle , for sure.

I cant see what his shaft looks like at Impact but Mr Doyles photos seen there raise a question for me re the Overtaking Rate: Im thinking that the factors are time or hand travel distance (from Release to Impact) and the degrees of Release (the #2 angle releasing 90 degrees say vs 80 or 70). If that's correct then you have to consider Ben Doyles shaft lean at impact when calculating his degrees of Release.

IM inventing terms here trying to explain things and I did flunk physics in high school , but Im thinking its possible to have a super late release but given tons of shaft lean at impact not have an amplified Overtaking Rate. You'd probably need to have a turned left hand grip to square the face too.....

That'd be a situation of "late but at the expense of degrees".....which reduces, perhaps negates the mechanical advantage of the late Release.

I dunno. What were we talking about again?
