Reading the PMTS books I see 3 types of releases described: one-foot, two-foot and flex to release. The two-foot has a few variations described. Having read the books only once I haven’t noticed a prescriptive decision criteria about what release works best for each situation. Please correct me if I missed anything or misunderstood.
My experience using and watching others using different release types is that the one-foot release is very quick and works best at lower speed and the two-foot works best at high speed. The flex to release is necessary at high speed when the two-foot isn’t quick enough. Is this model too simplistic? I am curious about how others think about which release to use in different situations.
