I think it depends on how your brain is wired up. I thought a hinge or thumb release would be perfect for me; turns out it wasn’t at all and caused me problems that lasted years.
My brain needs to tell my finger exactly when to pull a trigger; it’s the same when I’m shooting my rifle.
I think it was also a muscle/tendon thing. Gripping the release and also setting off the trigger just didn’t work for me. I need that muscle isolation you get in a wrist release; your arm/shoulder does the pulling, your finger does the releasing.
I suspect it was a security thing too; hand held releases just never felt safe enough to me.
