Does MIke Austin ever fully define what we would call his Release Trigger or Throw. In the one tape called "Golf's biggest Lie" it sure sounds like a Left Wrist Throw as you say. He even seems to demonstrate a Sequenced Release. He maintained he threw it from the top but in film he shows some delay of course.
Homer did say "From Top, Delivery Line Uncocking Prep. Delivery Line Roll Prep ". With the special emphasis on the Roll of course. Sorry if I sound like a book literate , I only mean to point out that his Austin throw out method as I understand it is not inconsistent with Homer.
Only with Automatic Snap Release is there no "starting to hit". See 6-H-0 B. Something a lot of guys miss for some reason when they label tgm.
I personally love his notion of throwing the club out. Throwout not Throwaway being key. With a Roll at the bottom of course. Sure sounds like a Swingers on plane Throwout of #2 Angle followed by a Roll. The Swingers Flail. Reminds me of LYnns hammer video.
Interested in learning more . He hit it long with no thought to longitudinal or snap. My kind of guy. But did he Longitudinal? I suspect he did.

Mike had a feel vs real problem and neither he nor Dunaway did a very good job of explaining.
He also said something else I never could understand, and Tom Tomasello picked it up verbatim, "It's all over in the first 18 inches." We know that clubhead overtaking will start about 60% of the way down but it seems to me that doesn't particularly fit the quote.
He disdained max trigger delay but he also did not throw it from the top.
Definitely #4. Shoulder throw, wrist throw. That's what Singapore Slinger uses, he said, with a laid-off shaft and snap release.
Mike had this idea that he had to speed up the clubhead to catch up with the hands so he could propel it into the mudbank his instructor had him burying the clubhead into as a kid without coming back with mud on his shirt sleeve. (Both-arms-straight follow-through.)
So, I suspect he's helping it with the right arm through the release area and it could be a bell-rope pull. A pressure point for that could be the mating of the last finger of the right hand with the first finger of the left on the grip. 8- or 10-finger grip would be useful for purchase on that, right arm straightening. A four-barrel right-arm swing? Why not?
A couple of things hit me, the steep angle of the shoulders going into release area, Zenolink's recommendation that hips and shoulders be open the same amount at impact, degree not important but ideally about 20 degrees, and how relatively quickly the right arm seems to straighten in the release zone. That could be normal though.
He's also starting the finish swivel right away after both-arms-straight. He definitely has a finish swivel.
Notice how the hips stall in impact fix condition, the shoulders catch up to even and then go past, and then the hips and right foot are drug up into the photographer pose.
