Sequenced release

[curtisj76]

Need a little clarification please. I just watched Building Blocks where Brian mentions and demonstrates a sequenced release. Immediately, a light bulb came on and then I searched for a post I read and found it:

"Someone, somewhere taught the poor golfer to PURPOSELY UNCOCK THE WRISTS before the clubface started turning off the plane. The dreaded "Sequenced Release" that may be the worse idea I ever tested in my teaching in my whole life."

So have we tossed the "sequenced release" in the junk pile? If so, what has it been replaced with? Thanks

Been scrapped. Personally, I think sequenced release leads to throwaway.

i think you are mistaken glcoach. i think the majority of golfers have a sequenced release.

what brian dislikes so much is people being taught to purposely uncock their left wrist i.e. using positive torque to uncock the left wrist as opposed to using outward forces created in the swing to cause the uncocking.

i would say most players uncock before they unroll. in building blocks brian says how you should learn what the trow-out action causing the uncocking feels like, not that you should purposely uncock your left wrist

i think u should cock more on the downswing as your hips pull ur arms/hand down, the uncocking comes much later a little before impact...

I'll be doing a new improved "non-beta" version of Building Blocks soon.

Of course, since someone else STOLE my Building Blocks title idea, I will probably call it:

Step-by-Step

Then, someone will steal that too.

Oh, it will not have ANY reference to—or demonstration of—Sequenced release, which I have come to despise.

Sequenced release is a theoretical concept invented by Homer Kelley based as the consequential result of the entire golfers flail as depicted in 2-K being longitudinally accelerated on an inclined plane.

Unfortunately the model isn't accurate. I could go into why, but no one would understand anyways so its not really worth my time...

Why dont you give it a shot. We might not be as dumb as you think.

Indeed, a lot of folks around here have repeatedly proven themselves to be really smart. One of the first rules for any teacher is "don't underestimate your students," so why not assume we are all decent students and give us the explanation?

I think a lot of people around here are interested in your thoughts, Matthew.
Seems like your studies went away from TGM about 2-3 years ago. Interested as to what you found.

I find it amusing how almost ever single post you make is followed by something like the above.
