Originally posted by MizunoJoe I'd like to see someone duplicate, in geometry AND results, a max trigger delay, max lag Swing with a Hitting motion. I don't believe it's possible. In other words, if a player's Swing and Hitting procedure look the same AND produce essentially the same result, his Swing uses an auto or non-auto sweep release.

MJ,

Both Swingers and Hitters delay their Release for Maximum Power. This is the Sameness (1-K). The Difference is that Swingers Load and Delay the Release of their Left Wrist. Hitters Load and Delay the Release of their Right Elbow.

Even assuming that the Hitter's delayed release point gives an above-the-horizontal shaft position, which matches that of the Swinger, the Right Elbow has no chance to match CF's speed in getting the shaft to the in-line condition. From release to Impact, the max lag, snap release Swinger moves the clubhead the same distance in less time. In the real world, the Swinger moves the clubhead a GREATER distance in less time, because I believe that a max delay Hitter's shaft is probably, at best, horizontal to the ground at release.
