[O.B.Left]

The delay of wristcock release is better because of the fact that the maximum clubhead speed due to the #2 angle is attained almost instantly after the left wrist starts to uncock. After that, the speed from PA #2 decreases, that is, in every Swing, the clubhead is slowing down at impact. Therefore, the closer to impact you release #2, the less time there is for the clubhead to slow down. The late release and the the sweep release have the same max clubhead speed shortly after their respective release points(assuming equal handspeed and wristcock), but, because the clubhead doesn't have as much time to slow down, the late release gives more speed at impact.

Interesting stuff MJ .

Is this also true in terms of club head speed in general as opposed just to the clubhead speed derived from #2? If so I didn't know that! What about max radius vs less than ? The swinger not being subject to the slowing effect etc ? Although I never did wrap my head around that one.

Homer I believe stated that the club head slowed post low point but slowing prior to impact would be new I think. Or do you mean a slowing in the rate of acceleration as opposed to a general slowing down?
