If the uncocking of the left wrist is the action that a swinger is using to throw the clubhead down plane... how can he also be using Longitudinal Acceleration, and accelerating the club lengthwise? 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.

Hold the angle and then throw Ain't happening in the same downswing.

Denny's point is well taken. As is feemore's in the prior post. What is actually happening in the Swinger's Stroke -- the Drag to Release Point followed by the Release Trigger (Throw) -- may not Feel like that!

Nevertheless, you should in Slow Motion deliberately Practice the absolutely correct Mechanics in order to precisely Program your Computer. Look, look, LOOK in the mirror to make sure you're getting it right. Then, Practice the same Motion with your eyes closed. Only when the correct Mechanics have been thoroughly programmed can you turn your Feel System loose and trust your Total Motion to deliver the result you seek.

In my January 13th post in the Forum Power Package / #3 Accumulator / More On #3 Accumulator, I explained how to go about this:

And here is one final, very important point. The #3 Accumulator is called Transfer Power for a reason: Especially in the Sequenced Release (4-D-0) of Swingers, it transfers the Power of the Released #2 Accumulator (Left Wrist Cock) into the Rolling Left Forearm and Hand. You should deliberately attempt to Feel this happening and do everything you can to encourage its Action.

Here's how to do it: From the Top, Drag Load (7-19) by Pulling the Butt End of the Club toward the Plane Line. Immediately thereafter, begin a Non-Automatic Random Sweep Release (10-24-B) -- later you can 'kick it up a notch' with the Automatic Snap Release of 10-24-E -- by Uncocking your Left Wrist strongly Downward, also toward the Plane Line. That takes only a fraction of a second, and just as soon as you Feel the strong, Downward Uncocking Motion underway, use its momentum to begin the Roll of your #3 Angle On Line through Impact. You've Launched a Three-Stage Rocket: The Drag Load established your initial Thrust; your Uncocking Left Wrist created the highest Velocity you will be able to achieve; and the #3 Accumulator picked up that Velocity and sustained it into Impact.

With Practice, this Sequenced Release blends into a single unified Motion and creates truly effortless, mystifying and almost magical Power. And when you get it right...

You're not going to believe it!

Remember, you have a nervous system that requires time to transmit its messages. And from Start-Down to Release just ain't a lot of time. So, once you Start Down...

Get with The Program!
