Swinging Components 10-19-C Drag Loading

Are the identities of these two components so different that they cannot be simultaneously monitored?

They are not occuring at the same time.

The clubshaft is pulled Longitudinally downplane until sufficient Centrifugal Force is developed to produce Throw Out Action; i.e., the process of producing the primary lever assebly's in-line condition at impact (Glossary). At this point, the club head starts to "tip over" from vertical to horizontal and the clubhead end begins to switch places with the grip end. Although the hands and arms begin to slow down, the clubhead isn't slowing down because of the Conservation of Angular Momentum.

The Swinger does not use any muscle to actuate Throw Out action -- it happens only through Centrifigul Force (2-K) and on-plane.

Great answer, Bobbywayne. To amplify:

At the root of Feemore's questions are three independent events -- Lag Loading, Triggering and Release. These occur in sequence during the Start Down (8-7) and Release (8-9):

1. In the Start Down, the out-and-out Pull of Drag Loading (10-19-C) via the #4 Power Accumulator (6-B-4-0) accelerates the Club longitudinally and thereby Loads the Power Package. This acceleration continues in the Downstroke (8-8 ) as the Loaded Power Package is transported intact to the Release Point.

2. At Release, the Wrist Throw Triggers the Sequenced Release (of the Left Wrist and Hand per 4-D-0) and the lengthening of the Third Side of the Triangle (the straightening of the Right Elbow per 6-A-1 and 7-20).

3. As a result of the Throw, the Left Wrist Uncocks to Level at Release and proceeds in that condition to Impact (8-10). Only after Impact does it achieve its ultimate 'in-line' condition, the Full Extension of the Primary Lever Assembly (6-B-2-0).

So, Loading, Triggering and Release are independent but coordinate Stroke Components. The Left Wrist participation in each and the Stroke Section in which it occurs can be defined and differentiated only by discerning students of The Golfing Machine.
