The Release Thread

Does anyone have a good drill to get the right movement on the downswing form the point that the butt end points at the target, through impact, to when the club head points at the target.

I'm really struggling with the driver to make this move. Hitting terrible pulls.

Thanks.

Jay,

Some candy cane hips could help if flexibility is not an issue.
Sounds like you could use some more axis tilt.
I think Mike has a video titled impact hips that could help you out.

Jay,

The bottom area of the downswing is best suited to take place on the 'plane of action' of lead and trail wrist flexion - extension.

Probably sounds confusing, but more details to follow as this is the whole enchilada of the release!

I cant seem to get this action down at all, I can execute it on chip shots comfortably, the cp moving up that is and it really helps, but the feel of the uncocking from the top and holding on for dear life like those who do it properly say it feels like eludes me completely. I cant even imagine what movement could provide such a feeling, guess I'll have to wait until December lol.

Chill,

I think you are misinterpreting!!! There is no concept of uncocking from the top at ALL!!!!
