In the Centrifugal Force Swing (The Swinging Swing), the trigger action requires an active left wrist and a passive right elbow. Centrifugal force, acting on the outward motion of the weight of the clubhead, causes the wrist to begin to uncock. This is the trigger action for unleashing the stored power of the backswing.

The stored power accumulated during the backswing is applied to the impact with the golf ball in a sequential
order:

1. The uncocking of the left wrist, begins the release
2. The straightening of the right arm, adds the force of the right arm
3. The rolling of the hands, maintains rhythm
4. The contact of the upper left arm with the chest, adds the force of the rotating body

These above actions must be released in this precise order.

In the Muscular Force Swing (The Hitting Swing), the trigger action requires an active right elbow and an inactive left wrist. Muscular force acting on the left hand causes the stored power of the backswing to be released. All the power begins to be released simultaneously:

1. The right arm begins to straighten
2. The wrist begins to uncock
3. The right hand, maintains rhythm
4. The body rotates away from the ball

These above actions must be released all at the same time.

The trigger actions begins the release of the stored power of the backswing. The action is either a active left wrist for the centrifugal force swing or a active right elbow for a muscular force swing.
