Not only is this move in The Book, ralphs007, it is considered the Master Power Accumulator (of four). Its basic function is explained in 6-B-4-0 and its Maximum Power and Maximum Trigger Delay are explained respectively in 6-B-4-A and -C.

It is the period of Shoulder Acceleration during the Start Down (8-7), i.e., the Pivot (7-12) transporting the Power Package (6-0) before any independent movement of the Arms occurs (6-K-0). The initial Thrust thus supplied, the Arms then Deliver the Loaded Power Package to the Release Point. This is the period of Hand Acceleration (8-8 ).

Then, the selected Release Trigger takes over -- Left Wrist (Swingers) or Right Arm (Hitters) -- and Delivers the entire Primary Lever Assembly (the Left Arm and Club) -- into Impact. This is the period of the lengthening Right Arm (6-A-1; 6-B-1-0; Active/Hitting or Passive/Swinging) and Clubhead Acceleration (8-9).

All of which leads to Impact...that most delicious period of Ball Acceleration (8-10).

In other words...

CRACK!!!
