Release Trigger Basics

Both of these gentlemen throw, roll, and finish.

So, can a left hand pull (Jeff Hull's move) be considered a throw ?
The Release Triggers (used singly or in combination as Component #20 of the Stroke Pattern) initiate the Release and are termed 'Throws'. As such, they 'Throw' the Club toward Full Extension (2-P), i.e., Perpendicular Motion (as opposed to Horizontal or Rotational) with the Left Wrist in its Flat, Uncocked and Vertical condition and with the Clubshaft in line with the Left Arm.

The term 'Throw' does not relate to the term Throwaway. The latter occurs when the Left Wrist Bends (Horizontal Motion) and the Clubshaft loses its in line relationship with the Left Arm. Its unfortunate consequences are disrupted Rhythm (RPM) and massive Power Loss.

To your question specifically: The Swinger Loads and Unloads the Left Wrist. Consequently, the Left Wrist Throw (10-20-E) is the specified Trigger Variation in the Drag Loading Basic Stroke Pattern (12-2-0). In Pivot Strokes, it may be used in combination with the Shoulder Turn Throw (10-20-C) and, in Snap Releases, the Delivery Path Throw (10-20-D).
