Releasing the Club




Release:  
In 2-Dimensional cameras the release of the golf club looks like hands have crossed/ rolled over, but in fact the hands stay in same relationship to the turning body.  You will see that it is just a contorted/ stretched position.  Everything is moving on that circular motion.  You can feel like you are rolling over your wrists to produce the correct technique.  It’s rotational body control of the face. 









Drill 1:  To get into the proper release position, you can just turn your body to the left where the club is parallel to the target line (pictured lieft).  Then just stretch your head and upper body towards the ball (pictured right).
















Drill 2: Lay down a few clubs as pictured below.  Start with the club at your right hip (your left thumb should be at 45 degree angle with ball), with your hips open to the target, and more weight on your left foot. Then move club over to the yellow stick (the one behind your heels). 































The hands do not cross/ roll over (as shown below), however this can be a feeling that you may feel when doing the correct release.
