Ex-Footballer David Platt Learns the 3 Releases short game system
PGA coach Dan Grieve teaches former England football star David Platt and his son Charlie the fundamentals of short game control using his 3 Releases system. The lesson covers eliminating wristy chip shots, improving takeaway path, establishing smooth tempo, and mastering soft lie adaptations out of the rough.
Flare your lead foot and keep weight forward so your sternum sits ahead of the ball for crisp low-point contact.
Start your takeaway with larger body muscles rather than twisting or flipping your wrists inside.
Establish a consistent 'tick-tock' rhythm to sync your torso rotation with arm movement.
Use the toe-slider technique out of light rough by raising the handle and letting the toe slide across the ball without aggressive wrist hinge.
