How to Release The Golf Club - This Will BLOW YOUR Mind
PGA instructor Chris Ryan debunks the myth of maintaining a static flat lead wrist through impact. Using HackMotion data, he demonstrates that a professional release involves a dynamic transition from flexion to extension, providing a 3-step process to combine body pivot with proper wrist mechanics for effortless power.
A flat lead wrist is a momentary position at impact, not a static state to be held.
Holding the wrist flat through the entire hitting zone can result in a significant loss of distance (up to 100 yards).
The lead wrist should move from an arched (flexed) position pre-impact to an extended position post-impact.
Use an alignment stick on the lead side of the grip to train the body to transport the club without 'flipping'.
Focus on pointing the lead palm at the target in the follow-through to ensure a full and powerful release.
