I think the question has been asked but I couldn't find an answer so I'll bring it up again as the endless belt effect is such an important concept.
Approximately where is the "release pulley" located? When looking face-on at the golfer, is it near the right knee? Is it further "up/down" the delivery path? Or is it simply a function of how much trigger delay the golfer is using?
If it's a function of trigger delay, is there a "probably-shouldn't-be-located-more-down-the-path-of-the-hands-than-here" location?

The Hands travel on the outside perimeter of the lower pulley.
Hey i was curious how the endless belt would look super imposed upon a golfer, both down the line as well as face on. Also does the belt itself remain stationairduring the swing or would one of the ends at least move during the swing? Finally does this relate diferntly to swingers to hitters?
Here are three diagrams from a presentation I made back in March 2006 to the Swedish PGA Coaching and Teaching Summit. As you can see, the Endless Belt Effect (Sketch 2-K #6) relates to the Delivery Path of the Hands (7-23) and its Aiming Point (6-E-2); the Release (7-24); and its Triggering (7-20). Compare the diagrams to Zone Three Photos 9-3-6 (Top) through 9-3-10 (Impact). The diagrams and related study should help answer your questions.

MachinusMagnus . . . do you think there could be another belt set on the thru side to get the player back up the plane? Or is that too goofy?
The Endless Belt Effect is all about increasing the Clubhead's Surface Speed with no increase in Hand Speed. To that end, there is only one Endless Belt and one 'Release' Pulley Wheel.
In fact, the golfer uses only about one-quarter of that Release Wheel (to Trigger the Release at the initial encounter). After Triggering (7-20; 7-23) and Full Extension (2-P), Acceleration has ceased and only Momentum is available to propel the Club into the Finish.

I'm afraid that when I really try to employ a snap release I feel like I get that release pulley located somewhere near the middle of my feet (that's the image I get from the idea of having the line-of-sight of the hands cover the left foot at release). Consequently it seems like there is not enough time to square the face and it's "fore right". I'm learning to release it sooner, but I think my attempt to sustain the lag often gets me dragging it too deep into the delivery path.
Is it possible, with automatic release, for CF to "betray" you and not release things in time to allow for a face that is aligned properly?

Comet,
A common misconception may be surfacing here:
The TGM motto -- "Sustain the Lag" (3-F-7-B) -- refers to Clubhead Lag (the stressed Clubshaft and #3 Pressure Point Pressure) . . . not to Accumulator Lag (specifically, the Cocked Left Wrist [#2 Accumulator] and Turned Left Hand [#3 Accumulator].
You 'Sustain the Lag' with both a one-inch Putt and a 300-yard Drive.
