The YMCA Drill That Perfects Your Golf Release Timing #shorts #golf #golfer #golfswing #ericcogorno

Eric Cogorno and Greg Jones demonstrate the 'YMCA Drill' (Y Must Come After) to master the timing of the golf release. The drill teaches golfers to reshape the 'Y' formed by their arms and shaft immediately after impact, preventing the common mistakes of releasing too early or hanging on too long.

• At setup, your arms and the club shaft should form the shape of a capital 'Y'.
• During the backswing, you 'break the tail off the Y' by hinging your wrists.
• The 'Y' must be put back together (re-straightened) right in front of you after impact, hence the name 'Y Must Come After'.
• Releasing too early (before the ball) leads to hooks, while hanging on too long leads to thin shots or pushes to the right.
• It is essential to use your hands actively to square the clubface rather than fearing the release.
