This is a pretty astute question...you've essentially described the difference between Swinging and Hitting....

BUT keep in mind....the WHEN you fire/Trigger #2 (your release) is up to you the golfer...I don't think OB or B.O. or whatever his name is was suggesting that you throw immediately from the top (you can)....just that you throw sometime...when is your choice....

It's Swinging...it's SEQUENCED....#2 uncocking starts FIRST in the sequence....then #3....that's Swinging....

your second question .... why not let #3 go....well heck yeah...why not...then you'd be HITTING....you'd be releasing #3 AND #2 SIMULTANEOUSLY....

the BEAUTY of the SYSTEM....HOMER KNEW IT....the other thing he knew was THE IMPORTANCE OF RIGHT ARM PARTICIPATION.....NOT JUST THAT IT PARTICIPATES....BUT HOW IT PARTICIPATES....IT SUPPORTS THE LOADING....SUPPORTS THE LEVER ASSEMBLY BEING LOADED...

HITTING FOREARM

SWINGING FOREARM

Hello Mr. Bucket,

Would it be possible to be a HITTER (pa3 and pa2 rekeased at same time) using all left arm, with pa1 releasing only at delivery phase as an ADD-ON and is completely optional. In the golfer's mind/intent, it would be just pa3. I know pa2 will be released as well, but that golfer is not thinking about pa2 at all. In fact, he is consciously avoiding too much release of it beyond a "level" left wrist.

So, it's all pivot and left arm releasing the pa3 (aka supination Mr. Hogan made famous) right after transition with a huge pa3 angle. I "feel" it's swinging, not hitting, mainly because it uses the left side and the pivot.
