Mastering Your Release Patterns In The Golf For Straighter Shots

so we all talk about the release in the golf swing but what's the real big influence on the release how can we get a more automatic release to play Great Golf so when we're talking release we're talking kind of two things one is how these levers unload so when they do that in what rate whether it's before the golf ball too much or after the golf ball too much to deliver a club face that is adding Loft and closing kind of on this plane and the second thing would be more the rotational release which is this way can have that club face is rotating toe over heel if you like to get that square position at contact now what I see with golfers am to Golfers is this kind of two positions we get golfers that have the toe very much up in the down swing from that position the only way we can hit the ball straight is to stall our body and flip our hands so we get a lot of the kind of right hand overtaking the flipping through the GOL ball and we do have to have hand action we do have to have the hands working we can't take the hands completely out to the golf swing it's about trying to influence the thing that make us play more consistent golf whether that's reducing that amount of early release as I would call it or it's about adding more early release to square the club face up in some players cases more commonly it's the first one there's over relase so having that club face that works into a more toe down position allows us then to turn our body to get the cluffy square and rotate our arm and wrist so that's how we would Square the cluff up from a closed position if from there I flip it the club face would be way closed the ball would go way left so if I do that now I get this club face down into closed position then stall and flip you see that Ball's gone on the other Fairway over there if it reaches it see whereas if I have that toe up position and do the same kind of impact that goldl Ball's gone pretty straight nice bit of draw not a bad shot to be honest with you just not very powerful so what we need to do is get this club face into what I would class as a square position on the way down and then have a combination of the levers unloading so we unload it completely into this inline condition here not before that but it is all the time un loading it's never not gravity and centrifugal force will always make the club want to unwind and we also have to add a little bit of rotation with the body arm and wrist to rotate the club face into a squarer position so if the club face is to up as we said we need more the lever release to happen earlier if the club face is to C down we need more of the body rotation to make sure we deliver that club face Square so my preference would be more towed down the club face is more Del lofted it's in a stronger position and our hands are less active through let's call it pre-impact and there for me gives us slightly bit more consistency when I'm delivering the club face this way with the levers it's very easy to hit the ground before the ball and it's very easy to hit the ball on the way up thin or topped so those are the compromises with that when we have the toe down if I can't rotate there's a chance I will hit shots that will go right but they'll be quite strong and right contact will pretty much be decent all the time so you could look at your golf game and go okay my contact needs a bit more attention so I need to get the toe more down to encourage that better contact you could look at the fact that you hit the shots right all the time and think okay well I need to unload these levers a little bit early but that would be something I would never actively encourage a golfer to do cuz gravity and the forces everything is working to try and make that happen without us trying to encourage it even more and 99% of golfers would have a position that is too let's call it flippy rather than not flippy in the golf ring that 1% will need different work but 99% of golfs I see in my 30 years of coaching would be two too flippy rather than not flippy enough so the take home message really from the video is let's try and get the toe down and then feel we rotate to face where we want to go with the body and arms to encourage the right kind of release so what I do as an exercise would be swing down get the toe facing a bit more down so at least parallel to the spine then from there can I hit a shot now and just rotate my body and arms through the ball and what I do beautiful what I would do is start off just at that kind of low Pace low effort and stopping breaking the swing down and then build that up to a rehearsal swing and a swing that would not stop and would be more full speed you might go to a stage where you go okay let's go 78 speed and then full speed let's do that so this one I'll go ahead and do it at 78 speed so I'm going to rehearse then do a a full swing so I set to the GOL ball as I would do normally the rehearsal Club face feeling strong maybe a tiny bit of rotation so Club is strong rotate now I'm going to try and do that 78 speed really pleased with that maybe fraction out the heel of the club but in terms of the flight and how I felt I produced a swing I'm really really happy let's try and go to full speed same routine so again rehearsal that's the feels I want to integrate into my normal swing not saying that's going to be my normal swing but I'm trying to influence it now we'll try and do full speed can I produce the same kind of positions or close to and again really pleased take the shot all day long and every practice swing I feel like doing I feel is having a very very very small influential change to my normal swing so that would be my process if I stepped on the course today really nice rehearsal then go ahead and commit trying to just feel them getting the club face strong on the way down and commit to the shot commit to getting through the golf pool so the max I'd have is two thoughts on the golf course give it a go and let me know how you get on
