Automatic Flip Release . . . What is it?
 

10-24-F AUTOMATIC FLIP RELEASE This procedure causes Release (with all Clubs) to occur by an automatic “Flip” – quick or lazy – when the Hands reach a certain point in relation to the body, on the basis of Feel. This need not be a subconscious procedure, because the hands can consciously sense and manipulate the Rhythm of Centrifugal Force (5-0) and, with only this, be able to move the Clubshaft “On Plane.” Release is Triggered (7-20) by allowing the Arm Swing and/or the Shoulder Turn to Swing the Hands per 10-20-E – automatically or deliberately – and move the Clubhead to an Off Plane relation to the Arms so Centrifugal Force can accelerate the “Throw Out” action thus initiated (6-B-3-0). Proper Impact is the result of the Hands timing the sequence of these actions. That means, basically, keeping the Left Arm (with or without Momentum Transfer (2-K) or Right Arm aid) pulling strongly throughout, because the Throw-Out Action inhibits Throwaway except from Quitting (6-D-3).

The Aiming Point (6-E) equivalent for this procedure is the “Open” and “Closed” Stance Line (10-5) which varies the Ball location in its relation to the body for any given Release Type (10-20, 10-24), to compensate for different Clubshaft lengths and must worked out by experimentation (See 9-1-1) because the players habitual Pivot procedure will bring the Hands very dependably into Release Position at the same time point in relation to the body.. So then, of course, errors in the Pivot affect the results adversely. As with any Swing Release (10-19-0), Ball placement (2-N) depends on Clubface alignment design (6-B-3-0) as well as Hinge Action (2-G). Right Arm participation must be per 2-K and 2-M-3.

What does this release type look like? Does the"FLIP" imply a bent Left Wrist violating the Imperative #1? Who employs the Automatic Flip that would be a model?

I think that Sergio Garcia employs a flip release

Hi 12...

My take. Flip release is, to the best of my knowledge, a pivot controlled hands procedure. The hands sense a relationship to the body - not the planeline - that is based upon feel (nothing geometrical...in otherwards, uh oh, i better start releasing!) and that feel has no geometric basis.

I am sure there is more to it - and hopefully someone else can elaborate a little more.

The Flip Release
 

Flip Release maintains Lag Pressure Point relationship with the Body rather than the Plane Line. Physics takes precedence over Geometry.

Good when trying to learn Zone #1 (The Pivot).
Inferior if your Hands are Educated.

So if I were to demonstrate a Flip Release, how would I go about doing it? What would I change from my 'standard' stroke in terms of feel and physics?

From where I sit, "Flip Release" is the very essence of that ethereal concept of timing.

Somehow, some way, some where along the line, the more gifted amongst us have obtained, and retain, this priceless asset.

It is what separates the very best from the rest.

Better Yet..how do you identify and then get someone out of a "Flip Release"?

Give me an example and I'll provide the Pics!!!!
