[O.B.Left]

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?

I love the mud bank thing. interesting. Radial is where the power is, Velocity Power as Homer called it. Max Delay may have a mechanical advantage for a given (but often lower) hand speed but you gotta release it . No release , no power beyond your hand speed, no leverage. Like throwing a club vs spear chucking it, throwing it end over end goes considerably further.

Why does the mud bank drill suggest a Right Arm throw to you? Not saying it couldnt be but just trying to follow your logic, Doctor.

This probably isnt the time or place for this but .... It touches on a question I have about right arm swinging or right arm involvement in general. Right ARm swinging is Longitudinal , Rope Handling but can it ever have a Sequenced Release given a Right Arm throw? In other words could you throw out #2 Angle, on plane, sequentially before #3 Roll with the Right Arm/Elbow? Could you alternatively Throw the Right Wrist and get Sequenced (I suppose you'd need to cock the Right Hand to do this) . If you can get Sequenced with Right Side involvement then you open the door to Hogan employing the same, possibly. If you cant then Sequenced points to Left Wrist Throw only. Maybe. Meaning slow mo film of Release Types could be telling or well suggesting maybe.


We're in lab right guys?

Thanks Loren nice talking golf and G.O.L.F with you.
