Best way to get the feel is very slow motion start down waggles through to both arms straight.

The key is understanding the left arm motion from the shoulder joint - like a swinging gate. Very easy to see and feel if you hold your left arm up at shoulder level, with the arm parallel to the ground and let it move back and forth like a lighthouse light beem. Then keeping the same 'feel' of the swinging gate at the left shoulder hinge, lower the arm down to golf posture, keeping that left wrist still verticle to the ground and the swinging gate feel at the shoulder.

Notice the right arm straightening provides the correct rate of 'closing' as the left wrist turns/rolls to keep the wrist verticle to the ground. It is somewhat of a 'level' feeling motion to the rhythm, still the feel of a left handed frisbee throw, on the inclined plane. Chances are good that for many it feels more 'out' than they are used to (unless they are using a very steep plane angle).

Once you get this feel in slow motion, you should begin to get a clear picture of why it is a sequenced release, uncock, then roll - because that ensures that you are both on plane, and that you have maintained both flying wedges alignments during the motion.
