I guess it was more out of interest in having you support that theory to understand why it was true, because while it may be apparent from one that follows Hardy's philosophy, from an outside perspective, or even from my own (and having a swing that more closely resembles one plane) I don't see that as just coming natural with the swing.

I say this because my swing just naturally kind of transitioned from what I learned in two planes to One Plane, and in that time frame I had some serious control and feel issues that were closely related to the manner in which your release the club on a one plane swing. I think my description was that in the transition "It felt like I had rocks in my hands" So again, if you know and use the proper mechanics of Hardy's swing philosophy, you may naturally release the club, however I can assure you that you still need to know how to release. It is just part of his philosophy on his swing as a whole. For which I did not see anything to support why this stood true and did not feel based on my own experience that "swinging more around your torso" naturally fixed this issue.

I still see a lot of people that swing on one plane, and my included on occasion, that do not properly release the club. I guess what I could say is that from my experience I also switched from a interlock grip to an overlap grip because I thought it felt more natural in my release. However I am not about to argue that someone should change to this for that reason. I know with my swing, that is the case because I can feel it when I swing the club. I am also sure there is a reason for this, but without knowing the entire reason I would be hard pressed to argue the point even though I know it is true for my swing. I am sure someone who has spent more time studying the philosophies of different grip may be able provide adequate support as to why this holds true. Even though that someone is not mean, it doesn't mean I would not love to hear the philosophy on how it pertains to the topic at hand.

Whew! I'm exhausted...
