snap release how I changed my random sweep to snap

Went feom an early release to maximum trigger delay it actually was very gradual there was no aha moment it very slowly delayed more and more the only way is to ingrain the swinginfg action and eliminate all right hand arm effort and let the right arm steaighten passively also note that I gained little to no more distance but sometimes a more solid hit

What's your reasons for changing to snap? Never understood the rationale for snap release (edit: I meant why it's better). Why not maintain random or almost sweep (full release) and just adjust the release interval by prolonging it?

If you do it properly by uncocking the LW hard & fast with the right shoulder, you will answer your own question of why it's better! Here's how: Throw the bent right arm and the entire club down plane with the right shoulder.

Deliberately delaying uncocking requires hand/wrist/arm tension and you can't let go the tension fast enough, so the uncocking is slower. Forearms, wrists, and hands must be tension free from the top.

Ok. By Snap Release you mean reality or intent? Because what you just described as thumbs up is what I mean by early Random or almost Sweep Release...and what you described as thumbs down is what I mean by Snap Release...

If you swing the mass of the bent right arm along with the shaft with each part moving at the same angular rate using adequate right shoulder speed and direction, you will end up snap releasing, in reality as well as intent, when the right elbow reaches low point.

You can't get a real snap release by holding the angle with wrist tension and letting go at some point. The angle is held by directing PP #3 toward a suitable aiming point with tension free wrists and an adequate pivot speed. So what you call a snap release will give a random sweep if you let go too soon, but if you attempt to let go as late as would happen in a real snap release, you will have wrist tension which will result in a shaft speed slower than it would have been in a real snap release. In other words, it happens too fast in reality to fake it, because your brain signals can't be processed fast enough.

Sorry to butt-in. But "Snap Release" is a Term Used to describe "how far along the straight-line delivery path when the Pulley begins or is initiated". It's not a #2 PP Swing. It's a #3 PP Swing. Driving Right Forearm. At the Very End of the Straight Line Delivery Path, when there is no more straight path to continue, the Right Forearm/Hands meet the Pulley. Then, the Right Forearm "Snaps" into the Pulley.

The #2 PP Swing (Wrist Cock) focuses on Wrist Cock and Uncock. This is the Swing used when you want to feel like the Left Arm is "Blasting" off the Chest. This Blast off the Chest initiates "Throw-Out" and CF sets in to Uncock the Left Wrist. It Doesn't get a "Snap" Release. With this Swing Type, you don't feel the Straight Line Delivery Path because the Right Forearm is Passive (Alignment aid only). Hence, Random Sweep Only when using the #2 PP (90% of Golfers).

BOTH, the Straight Line Delivery Path and "Left Arm Blast Off the Chest" are the "Hand Acceleration" Phase (of the downstroke acceleration sequence). Pulley, is Clubhead acceleration. Controlling when "Clubhead Acceleration" begins is directly controlled only when using the #3 PP to sense Inertia and Acceleration. It is only indirectly controlled when using a #2 PP Swing.
