MASTER THE RELEASE - SIMPLE, EFFECTIVE RELEASE DRILL FOR THE GOLF SWING

The release happens at such high speed and over such a short period of time that it can be incredibly difficult to control, improving it relies on the golfer having both a really clear concept around what should happen, along with the information on how to train this important part of the golf swing.

Chris Ryan covers both of these key points to help you master the release with a simple, effective release drill for the golf swing.

Honestly one of the best and simplest explanations of the correct release of the club I’ve ever seen. Many thanks Chris

I am 82 yr old female and thanks to this lesson, I am finally able to follow thru and really hit the ball. THANK YOU SO MUCH CHRIS✌️✌️✌️✌️

Nice and clear - and short (so many videos are at least twice as long as they need to be) - thanks!

[Dlochs]

I am so mad at how maybe the simplest golf tip I have seen out of all the videos I watched did more for my swing than anything else lol. Amazing video.

I have been watching you along with all the other greats on YouTube for some time but I wanted you to know that the way you, Chris, explain some key concepts like in this release video is done in a way that I am able to understand and APPLY immediately. I have been struggling with my release all year and have been working on my turn through but in all my self recorded videos my left wrist kept breaking down no matter what I tried. I watched this video once, went to the range and a few 3/4 swings later I have been able to get more success than I’ve had all season. I’m working on keeping my lead arm extension after release now. I’m not a comment person but wanted to take the time today to just thank you. You also helped me greatly on my backswing when you explained how the angle of your lead arm compared to the spine doesn’t really change through the backswing. This ability you have to break down complex golf concepts in a way that makes it super easy to do is something that not many are actually able to achieve. I’m searching through your videos now to help keep my lead wrist flat on the backswing and backswing and how to get behind the shoulder at the top of the backswing. Thank you Chris. Nothing but the upmost respect.

The best and most efficiant golf tip i’ve ever got. It helps almost every thing in my golf swing - from wedge to driver. Thanks Ryan.

I really like this video. I was one of those golfers who wasted a LOT of time trying to 'hold lag' and struggling with a proper release. The idea of the club getting as far away as possible was a great concept to feel a proper release.

Best hands drill I've seen. Many thanks I will try

[brentrottweiler]

I rarely comment on anyone’s post or page but I’d be doing a disservice to the golfing public if I didn’t. You are absolutely one of the best YouTube golf instructors in terms of explanation, drills and easy to implement tips.
This episode that I am commenting on, one of the best I’ve ever seen and I’ve watched a lot of golf videos.
Thank you for all the help and keep up the good work!

What a coincidence! I was saying to mates at the clubhouse yesterday that I think I’ve reached my peak (mid to low 80s with the odd 70something) because I just can’t compress the ball.
Using this tip today, I’m finally taking a divot and striking well.
The best thing is this works from driver down to the short game.
Thanks, Chris

Thanks Chris! One of the BEST DRILLS EVER!

I found this old video trying to self correct my swing. I can't thank you enough. I instantly fixed my non-existent release. Hit 13 greens which was my new record. Take care.

When I was a new golfer years ago I did what you are showing. The pivot is what definitely creates more of the straight arm look that you demonstrate. Tiger Woods has less straight arms in his iron swing with more distinct hands releasing through the shot. If a golfer does not pivot correctly it will be a flip, results a thin/fat shot, bad result. Depending on the golfers feel, kick the forward knee out or the right new towards the ball to get the right feeling for a powerful release. Some players will feel more hands others will believe their hands to be passive. Some golfers will have more of the squat look during the transition to power the release. Hands and body working together. Great video, most people watching will also benefit from watching the foot work in the beginning, especially the trail foot on how it works inward and the knee moving towards the ball to create the whipping action. This move can create an early extension if the hips do not stay back and away to create space for the arms.

Terrific example for hands, arms, and release....so much appreciated.

[Nicole-Li]

For two years practicing golf, I never got the point of release, and this made me super frustrated. After practice follow the video, Finally I get it!!!! This is simplest and best one!😍

[elliottelliott]

Your video completely improved my swing and I am now scoring when i play. I am a forever subscriber. Thank you.

[steelemildwaters]

... I’ve been 10 years without knowing what the release should actually be like. Thanks, please keep these types of videos coming.

[Strickjr]

You're the best in the business! You manage to compartmentalize the golf swing making it easier to understand. And this makes it easier to practice, thank you.

[peterwallace]

Have for many, many years followed the Leslie King Method ( this has given me a good model and some succes but has not moved me forward ). I feel that your tutorials are excellent. So have subscribed.and look forward to improving my golf further with greater feel on my swing and consequently enjoying my game and bringing about an improved swing and much better results.
Your methods are very different but I feel they can be so more effective for me.
I feel very optimistic.
Cheers
Peter
