Craig, this time a question without video: it is even in slow motion.

Hi Craig, this time a question without video: it is even in slow motion difficult to see whether or not good players accelerate the swingtempo with posting up. In order to maintain the lag I understand that downswing needs to remain slowly (as wrists are supple hence NOT keeping the club back by force). But does it REMAIN a smooth movement until postup and finish (and acceleration of club head does ONLY come from release) or is there some „jerk“ with posting up (which I have always done so far)?? And if so, is the release itself an active flip of the wrist or does it „just happen“?? Best regards Stephan

Hello Stephan. The release is passive and the tempo slowly builds. Not really a jerk motion at anytime. The post up will start to trigger the release and the deceleration allows the club head to accelerate.

I can't find the link that Chuck put out for all the slow mo videos. Do you have it?
