stress on the left arm

[HungryBear]

I am very troubled by the words.

....overlapping as opposed to sequenced release, .......... An uncocking of the #2 down but on plane, the left wrist turned to the plane. An uncocking followed by a swivel,.........

It is my understanding that no accumulator is completely released until follow through and #2 can not be released before impact because the rifgt arm unfolding regulates #2 release. ?????

#2 can not be released before impact because the rifgt arm unfolding regulates #2 release. ?????

See 10-24. There are in fact three Release Points and all of them are prior to Impact. You are quite right about not letting any of the Accumulators fire fully prior to the end of the Impact Interval. Like the boxer who thrusts through his target , his arm is neither fully extended nor fully cocked at the moment of impact nor at the end of the impact interval for that matter. You must thrust through impact, past low point and all the way to Follow Through. Meaning the Thrust is still being directed down plane and towards the plane line post low point and therefor while the hands and clubhead are moving forward , up and in. Crazy but beautiful. See 1-L-15.

If I understand your note about the "right arm regulating #2 release" correctly, be the Release Sequenced or Overlapped the firing order remains 4,1,2,3. Accumulators can be omitted or overlapped but the order can not change. Typically Hitters use an overlapped, "simultaneous" Release of 1 and 2 while Swingers generally employ a Sequenced Release of same. So the Magic of the Right Arm you alluded is still in effect.

It is clear to me but confusion abounds because of words. The distinction between "release" and "released" so I mentally re-lable "release" as trigger or start and "released" as in ALL-GONE. To me, and this is only me unless confirmed, Sequenced release REQUIRED for swinging is necessary because the left wrist lays ON the plane at #2 release and the action of #3 at this point would be perpendicular to the plane as I proceed down plane I MUST allow the left wrist to start towards vertical. NOW I require the start of #3. I think this is the rhythm required. #2 starts release quickly and its release progress slows to follow through and #3 starts slowly, when required after #2 and accelerates to follow thru. A coordinated action with RHYTHM.
