Craig Jones from Face First Golf demonstrates how to eliminate the 'weak flip' and replace it with a 'power whip' to achieve pure compression. By focusing on keeping elbows together and rolling the forearms, golfers can create forward shaft lean for more distance with less effort.

Compression is created when the shaft tilts toward the target at impact, trapping the ball.
A 'flippy' release adds unwanted loft and causes the ball to balloon with no power.
The 'power whip' involves rolling the forearms so the toe of the club passes the heel through impact.
Keep elbows together and pointed down during the release to avoid the 'chicken wing' and maintain control.
For driver, use the same whip motion but add a hip bump and spine tilt to hit up on the ball.
