There is a healthy amount of overlap in a sequenced release. You have to start rolling well before impact(at which point the left wrist is level). Since there is still an angle well less than 180 degs between the left forearm and shaft when the left wrist is level with any normal grip, and even less still at the point that the roll starts, you're rolling a big bat(the whole club), not a little one(the clubhead).

Exactly what I'm about to post. Full sweep release. Only a very few strong individuals can afford to wait and release pa3 late. I think this is the reason many dismiss outright a mainly pa3-based release. It's too damn hard. That's why you gotta start releasing pa3 ASAP. From transition.

Here's what I think, you experts please help me out and comment please:

1. Your left wrist, at level status, has acute pa3 angle, the most your butt palm pad and index finger can handle. You obtain this at setup. 90 degrees is ideal.

2. Left wrist must be level from top to impact to maintain the pa3 angle.

3. You start to release the pa3 accumulator right after start down. Almost simultaneous. (I start down with lower body, I.e., hips). Why? An acute pa3 angle is too damn hard to release. Immeasurably hard. So you start ASAP.

4. Pa2 is released automatically. It should be given no thought at all. The left wrist pa2 travel for fully c0cked to level is so short anyway, it's immaterial. In fact, if you release pa2 intentionally, the momentum it generates is so hard, that if you do it your left wrist will unc0ck more than level, which in turn will render pa3 release impossible.

5. Why pa3 based release with acute pa3 angle? Accuracy. With distance. Accuracy AND distance. Gotta be strong though. And by the way, you can add pa1 without any negative consequence at all; only one requirement, bent right wrist at impact as required by the pa3 angle.

I'd like to believe this is what Tiger is doing. It is what Tiger is doing. It won't hit the ground because of his pa3 angle. Damn I'm hardheaded.

Comments? Anyone?
