You want to "maintain" the #3 angle INHERENT IN THE PLANE ANGLE YOU SELECT...that's it that's all...the release type...that's freakin' red meat filet mig-nawn of the golfing machine....you can't swing and hit at the same time...Homer was a PURE GENIUS on this....Hitting IS releasing #2 and #3 at the SAME TIME....SIMULTANEOUSLY...therefore the sweetspot does not lay on the plane as long...also HUGE implications on right arm participation....pitch with swinging ...punch with hitting...



You can do that left arm drill thingie with BOTH procedures...you'll note that the left thumb works differently in it's uncocking...with simultaneous...the left thumb uncocks more "out to the plane line earlier"...with swinging you are uncocking karate chop left palm facing the plane longer...



different faces...different procedures...note the elbow positions....the different locations of the right shoulder....fly wheeling vertical-ish right shoulder...vs...launching pad right shoulder higher working out to the plane line more...Homer was a dang genius...right arm participation is totally different.
Accuracy isn't not allowing #2 to go...that's some morad junk...overriding the pulley...dragging the buttcap to the wall...
