snap v sweep
I have always felt the endless belt effect was far greater with a snap release than with a sweep release.

To me the most important part of the endless belt concept is the change of direction, the whip, the smallest circle on the belt.
I see two belts- the left arm and the left wrist/hands.
I look at the endless belt, besides the conveyor belt image or the shooting ducks (the left arm), but also like a boat with a tall mast bobbing in the water. The hull moves a small distance but the top of the mast moves a great distance. The hull is the hands (pp3?) and the clubhead is the top of the mast. Hands - small circle. Clubhead -large circle, the whirl.

So a float loaded snap release - a swinger's procedure would have greater use of endless belt inherent power than a sweep release or a Hitter's straight right arm being driven to the back of the ball since the smallest circle (hands) is over a longer period of the stroke. Not to say that the belt doesn't exist in either stroke but a swinger using CF and a snap release is maxing it out.

What was your question?
