so i dont know golf ? im 13 and i have played for sinse i was 2 years. and it was just for fun
ahhh good stuff.. this is exactly my problem.. 1000000 thanks
I’ve been playing for a little over a year…I tend to pull my irons but push or slice my driver and woods. Is this a common problem?
Have you been custom fit for your clubs? If you are pulling your irons, they might be a little bit too upright. Scroll through our channel…we’ve got several videos about pulls and slices that may be useful for you.
I have not… I have my eyes on a set of AP1 Titelist irons. The videos are helpful but I am afraid I already have some bad habits to break
If you decide to get the AP1s, have the lie angles bent to fit your swing. It won’t cost much (some places even throw it in as part of the purchase), but it’s very worthwhile…it’s kind of like getting the right size shoe because not everyone fits in to the average size (which is how clubs are built). Tiger actually has his irons bent up 1 degree.
Exactly. Another web over-simplification of a fairly complex maneuver. Other flaws could be:
Bad shaft angle halfway down. Aggressively turning the hips too early. Failure to aggressively turn through the hit. Lead-hand knuckles not pointing down at impact, etc., etc., etc.
Too true.
I agree. A good swing will always produce a good release. Halfway down achieve a good shaft angle. At impact: back of lead hand square to the target with lead hand “knucks-down”. Left side pulling out of the way so that the right side can contribute. Trying to control/time the clubhead directly will only throw off your overall timing and body positions.
you dont “Know” anything at 13 years old kid… lol
Great video. I had just started releasing the club today, and looked at vids to confirm what I’m doing.
The increase in power is definitely noticable, and the ball gets compressed every time. Some videos on youtube are saying “Don’t flip the wrists” – they should be more specific, as they could discourage people from properly releasing.
Nice…
Thanks, glad it helped.
…and good comment about not flipping vs. discouraging a release.

For a long time instructors taught students to have the feeling you were “sitting” on a bar stool. I always believed we should have been teaching people to feel as though you were “leaning” back on a stool. The last thing you would ever want to do is sit in golf. Sitting will cause the golf club to swing too level to the ground in the downswing, and you will have a tendency to hit the ground behind the golf ball. w w w (dot) golferbreak80 (dot) c0m
This guy sounds like Napoleon Dynamite!
could you look at my swing video and give me any advise, please.
Great video on how to learn to release the club head. Looking at yourself swing in front of a mirror is easy and a very good idea.
This is my main problem.. I can get it worked out on the range but I revert back to holding on to long on the course.
When I used an interlocked grip I hit my irons straight as an arrow but I moved to an overlap grip due to pain in my pinky finger and ever since have had a late club release.
Never could hit my driver straight heheh.
The Number one reason if you are slicing or hooking the ball too much – chances are you are swaying your hips too much, meaning your body weight is shifting outside your right foot if you are a right handed golfer.
Try to load properly against your right leg engaging your large large muscles in your back to make the coil. This will get your club on the correct plane and will give you maximum power and consistency. Learn to pivot properly and it will greatly improve your game.
if someone could answer my question it would be a of great help. when he says you want to release the head just after you would make contact with the ball, does this mean your hands should be just over the ball when you begin to release the club head? i’m kind of confused on that.
@ILoveChappy – Some of the best laggers still have 90 degrees between the club and their lead forearm as the hands are approaching the rear leg on the downswing from a face-on viewpoint…but still get full extension by the time they hit the ball or very shortly after the strike. Working to achieve that would give you a good amount of pop on the ball.
@jaacobbowden okay thanks man. I never really focused on the release of my club in the past, but i think ill be able to make my swing a lot more consistent just practicing the release.
Hey im looking for some good advice to fix my swing from people who know what there talking about. Just type in Clint Kuglar 3 wood in the search bar. Thank you!
my biggest problem is using the wrong angle.
