Hi Shawn, I luv this video on the lead hand release, and was really looking forward to the following week when you stated you would be talking about the trailing hand release, I saw your grip video you did next but would luv a video on the trailing arm release like the one done above – how about it!
Coming next week! Ready and hot! 😀👍💥🔥
Hi Shawn,
What if the club tends to fall behind me a bit too much? Would my lead hand release need to feel more “out” towards the ball rather than down?
Hi Scott!
See “upward levitation”, “the unstoppable momentum” series and the latest “perpetual motion” video; you don’t want to be letting that arm-club unit droop behind you and be in a position where you need to manipulate the club TO THE BALL. You need to be in a position to allow the club to fall through the stem of the dandelion AND OUT IN THE DIRECTION YOU WANT THE BALL TO START ON.
Hi Shawn!
I heard you mention that Munashe’s club face had to be a little less closed because of his more emphatic release. I have run into a little bit of a hook issue with my irons that I never sorted out last year. Over time, as my overall golfing ability improved using your brilliant method, I noticed a hook started to creep in and get progressively worst. I also have difficulty fading the ball now, when it was my go-to shot before you taught me how fun it was to draw the ball at Royal Quebec a couple of years back.
I am a little confused at the moment. Wouldn’t a deeper more emphatic release warrant a stronger grip or more closed face? Would the club not stay open deeper into the swing?
I hit 5 of 6 fairways this morning but only had 2 GIR for the 9 holes I played because of my iron hooking issue! The same will happen with my woods and hybrids if I close the face too much. I have been reluctant to ease up on the clubface because I thought it meant my release was not deep enough, but based on my experience, would you recommend fine tuning my clubface closures? I think a goldilocks range session is in order!
Yes, exactly! This is why being able to confirm the release is nicely past the ball with EASE, if the ball is hooking, you need to ease up on the grip club and make it less closed; this happens to all players as every day is different!
Hey Shawn, great video. The leading hand (left hand) has always been a struggle for me. Perhaps my right hand is more dominant so it overpowers my left hand and causes my left hand to cave inwards after the release instead of fully extending forward. Would consciously letting my left hand take over on the down swing help with this?
Hi Calvin!
That collapse can easily be you not staying with the direction you want to start the ball;
2 things for you: see “target confirmation series” and match that up with “lead hand release” and see if it makes it easier to execute the full task.
Hey Shawn, I have difficulty trying to duplicate the feel of sword slashing when i use two hands vs one. My takeaway is much worse and I feel the weight a lot less too
Most of the time, the issue is in the way the lead hand yields; once you get that lead hand to snap over, by allowing the lead elbow to snap down which catapults the back of the lead hand over the ping pong ball for that top spin back hand release!
Hi Shawn
Golf has started to limp back here in India.
As usual I have been following your recent videos on release and grip and trying specifically to implement the lead hand release for either sending the 2 tees through the intermediate point or sending the tip of the tee to the left or right of the intermediate point. I have observed that my release does not have the snap. It is kind of muted. When I turn the club upside down and cut the bamboo shoot it is quite snappy.
Can I get some advise on this.
Thanks.
This is a job for the “pre-motor cortex series” Mohanjit; let me know if you were getting ready with that kind of flavour that would keep you from defaulting to the ball.
