[General comics] How do heroes who travel around via grappling hook detach it midswing to grapple onto something else?

Daredevil is often depicted as being able to move around New York about as fast as Spider-Man, but the latter can just cut his web and fire a new one. How does Daredevil, or Batman etc, ungrapple his grappling hook mid-swing and throw it onto something new?

Depends on the grappling hook, but generally they have a gimmick or trick they lets them detach it. Batman's grapnel, for instance, is usually depicted as having a function that pulls in the hooks and retracts the cable so that it comes loose. Other heroes with less sophisticated tech will either use disposable grapples like Spider-Man, or have a level of finesse and control that lets them hook a specially shaped​ grapple temporarily, loosing at exactly the right point either through a special hook shape or a careful shake of the rope, as someone skilled with a whip might be able to manage. A borderline precognitive individual might be able to plant the hook on surfaces that hold their weight only for the requisite amount of time before failing and breaking the hook loose.
