Float Loading and the Power Package
I understand that Lag Loading is about stressing the Clubshaft, and that the Power Package Components are about loading the Power Accumulators.

But what is the exact relation between Float Loading (as a Component #19 Variation) and the Power Package Components (#21 through #24)?

With Float Loading, is Power Package Assembly Point that point on the Downstroke when Float Loading has produced maximum Right Arm bend and maximum Left Wrist cock or is Power Package Assembly Point always a point on the Backstroke?

Does Float Loading affect the player’s options of Loading and Release (Full Sweep, Random Sweep, Snap) ?

Since Float Loading causes an immediate unbending of the Right Arm after that extra bending on the Downstroke, is Power Package Release for Float Loading always automatic? Or is it always non-automatic because the player consciously decides when to start the Float Loading ? Or neither ??

From 7-19 LAG LOADING
"....Club head Lag can be established in three different ways:
1. By resisting the backstroke motion for drive loading
2. With the start down motion for downstroke (float) loading
3. By "throwing" the club against the lag pressure point at the top for drag loading"

Q: With Float Loading, is Power Package Assembly Point that point on the Downstroke when Float Loading has produced maximum Right Arm bend and maximum Left Wrist cock?

A: not necessarily...
From 10-19-B DOWNSTROKE (float) LOADING
"this procedure delays the wrist cock until the start down and completes it as specified by the stroke pattern assembly point component."
"with a frozen wrist procedure (10-3-k) the downstroke is limited to increasing right elbow bend only"

Q:Is power package assembly point always on the backstroke?

A:NO see examples...

10-21-D DOWNSTROKE TOP
"this procedure is identical to C above (assembly point at end) except that the hands do not wait for the assembly to be completed at the end of the arc, but move back toward the top so assembly is actually completed at the top while the hands are moving strongly along the downstroke path"
10-21-E DOWNSTROKE SIDE
"assembly is actually completed at some pre-determined point along the line (up to and including the release point) while the hands are moving along the downstroke path"

Q: Does float loading affect players options of loading and release?

A: From 10-19-B DOWNSTROKE (float) LOADING
"assembly, loading, and release are usually accomplished simultaneously"
"Downstroke loading must set up either radial(hitting) or longitudinal(swinging) acceleration for the corresponding release procedure"

Q: Is power package release for DOWNSTROKE (float) LOADING always automatic?

A: NO
Also From 10-19-B DOWNSTROKE (float) LOADING
"assembly loading and release are usually accomplished simultaneously then with a Flicking action--Automatic or Non-automatic-- continues as either drive loading(10-19-A) or drag loading(10-19-C), designating it as either 10-19-B/A or 10-19-B/C

In addition to these explanations....
The above mentioned Sections and others referenced within those texts (from the book) signify the relation of component 10-19-B to components 21-24, refer to these sections in any of your seven editions for any further questions regarding it's relation.


3-F-2 CROSS REFERENCING
The greatest factor for improvement is proper and perceptive practice procedures. This can be acquired by cross-referencing all subjects through the index and or the reference numbers inserted in the text. Those numbers help locate information that is essential--not merely incidental--to the subject at hand and which must be considered as replacing those numbers as though written in those locations.

Thanks, Whip, for your very precise response.

Could you expand on the difference between an Automatic Flicking Action and a Non-Automatic Flicking Action, please? It seems to me that one would always have to initiate the Flicking Action with a deliberate maneuver and that after this initial move the rest of the Action would be automatic.

And what about the Snap, Random Sweep, Full Sweep options? Can you do Float Loading with, say, Full Sweep Release? Or do these variations not really apply to Float Loading because loading and release are usually simultaneously?

So to expand on this text( "then with a flicking action--automatic or non-automatic") From 10-19-B--that is the subject of question, let's look at the dictionary's definition of flick to get a better idea of what homer meant by the term. Maybe by reading the following definitions and sections you will understand why 10-19-B DOWNSTROKE (float) LOADING can be executed with automatic and non-automatic releases, with varying degrees of sharpness to the loading and unloading actions

"flick*1 *
n.
1.a. A light quick blow, jerk, or touch: a flick of the wrist; gave my horse a flick with the reins...."

From 6-N-O RELEASE TYPES
"The two types differ in that:
1. The Automatic is triggered mechanically--the Non-Automatic is a deliberate muscular manipulation
2.The automatic drives the hands at the aiming point--the Non-Automatic drives the hands to their impact location
3. There may be a "starting to hit" in the Non-Automatic but not with the Automatic


From 7-22 POWER PACKAGE LOADING ACTION "...as sharply as possible, as gradually as possible and somewhere in between--noting it's approximate fraction of the arc"

From 7-24 POWER PACKAGE RELEASE
"There are only two release types, Automatic and Non-Automatic, then like the loading action, it has three points for the unloading action--as early as possible, as late as possible and somewhere In between, noting again, it's approximate fraction of the arc
