This NEW Release Move Gets Golfers Driving It Like Pros!
Golf instructor Steve Pratt reveals the secret behind John Daly's driver distance: a proper wrist and forearm release move rather than a long backswing. By practicing the 'thumb down and over' technique with an alignment stick, golfers can learn to whip the clubhead around the handle, move peak clubhead speed out in front of impact, and hit up on the ball for massive distance gains.
Avoid pulling the handle down from the top of the downswing, which destroys speed and accuracy.
Perform the 'thumb down and over' movement to advance the clubhead around the handle rather than advancing the handle ahead.
Use hip turn and torso rotation to drive the handle forward toward the lead shoulder at impact.
Focus on creating the loudest 'swoosh' sound out in front of your stance at a 45-degree angle.
Add slight side tilt at setup and keep the lead shoulder closed longer to achieve an upward attack angle into the ball.
