Maximum Clubhead Speed is achieved almost instantly at Release for both Swingers and Hitters (2-M-1 and 6-F-0). The Clubhead does not pick up Speed during the Release Interval (the Overtaking of the Hands by the Club). Instead, it tends to slow down!

Swingers use the Body Pivot as a Rotor to accelerate the Left Arm. This generates Momentum Transfer (from the Rotating Body into the extending Radius of the Left Arm and Club per 2-K) and the Throw-Out Action of Centrifugal Force. This combination virtually eliminates Clubhead Deceleration during Release, and as a result, the Clubhead maintains a constant speed into Impact.

Hitters, on the other hand, use the Body as a Launching Pad from which to Drive the Right Arm. Hence, Momentum Transfer is unavailable to prevent Release Deceleration. Therefore, the Timing and Trigger Delay of the Right Arm Thrust become critical in preventing a massive slowdown of the Clubhead during Release. Learning to handle this Release Deceleration problem is one of the biggest stumbling blocks the Swinger must overcome when learning to Hit.

For both Swingers and Hitters, Impact is a violent collision of Ball and Club. Since the Ball hits the Club as hard as the Club hits the Ball, the Clubhead decelerates significantly. The Ball's mass is about one-fifth (20 percent) of that of the Clubhead, and so the Clubhead's Approach Speed is slowed to approximately 80 percent at Separation. It is important that this Impact Deceleration be minimized because in addition to its own 70 percent Coefficient of Restitution, the Ball picks up 100 percent of the Clubhead's Speed at Separation. In this department, the only defense is the familiar mantra of The Golfing Machine...

Sustain the Lag!

Again, at no time is there an Upward Thrust.

I think it would have been appropriate to add "during the release interval". Just a suggestion!!!

My discussion of the proper Direction of Thrust was not limited to the Release Interval. It included all Stroke Sections from The Top to The Finish (8-6 through 8-12).
