compda opened the thread with a very good snap release using a non-maximum pitch elbow just on the right hip. We have seen other snap releases using the pitch elbow in front of the right hip, but is it really a necessary condition for the "best" snap? Let's look at the 2011 Masters Champ

Starting at the :32 mark, look at the shaft angles and elbow positions by clicking through the frames. The right elbow stays to the right of the right hip, but just look at that delayed wrist action. Maybe compda had it just right from the beginning?
