I like that you use understandable terms rather than golf jargon. This is very good instruction presented well.

Excellent video! (and very helpful--clearly explained)

Thank you

Fantastic drills Peter, been stuck from downswing to contact point, working tirelessly on hips and feet positioning when my problem was not letting go of the club, thank you so much

My pleasure Paul. Hope it knocks some strokes off your score.

Great video

Good one.

I am a beginner golfer, and I have been trying to figure out how it is that some golfers seem to hit the ball so far with so little effort, and while if I hit numerous balls at the range, that I end up winded and the ball goes maybe half as far. I have watched other videos that try and explain what one needs to do, but I never really got what they were talking about until now. I guess that's the problem trying to use words to describe something physical. Anyways, I think you have unlocked something in my brain, and you have given me something to work on.

Thanks Jack. It can take some time to develop the correct movement coordination for an effective golf swing. Keep at it and you’ll find that your distance will increase over time.

I second that this is a very good explanation. I would like to see the critique of the necessary foot work simultaneously.

Release occurs when the club is allowed to seek its inline condition with the lead arm. Cheers Peter

I still can't figure out how the pros hold that wrist angle on the downswing

It’s mostly by playing with the momentum of the arms and club and keeping your wrists reasonably soft.

Generating a massive flip by using this approach. Needs a lot of timing as the club face is open before strike and closed after strike. If the body turns too quick the push slice comes into play. If the body turns and stops fearing the slice then you get a massive hook as the club whips through.

Sounds like your left wrist might be bending (extending) causing the face to close quickly.

I think, that your argument is true if you do the release consciously. If you 'let it happen', focusing on the lower body action instead, you might be less likely to experience the extremes that you describe. I think of a frisbee throw: I 'load' the wrist, am not fully aware of the 'unloading' and become aware of the 'released' wrist position at the very end of the throw. Btw, I think the term release is not very helpful. If it were, people would do it better. How about this idea: thinking of surfing a 'wave' face motion? The wave builds up and gathers as long as the club head moves away from the setup position, the crest finally peaks during the initiation of the down swing; your hands are gaining speed; next your hands surf down a steep wave face, reaching max speed before the bottom of the wave before the the impact area, go through the bottom and ride out of the wave to the left climbing up the wave face again swiftly and softly and jump over the crest into the air. The steeper you drop and the faster you come out of the bottom, the more explosive the action of the club head will be. Effects of physics will square your club head if you don't add unwanted hand action. No time or chance for a slice or a hook. :)
