This awesome drill forces you to release the golf club like a tour pro! You're going to love how it makes it impossible to hit a slice!
all right guys be honest out there how many of you are still struggling to get this nice proper tour quality extension and release in your swing if you're struggling with your release still you're still using too much body and too much right arm so how do you get rid of that stuff to get rid of that stupid slice or the blocks or the smother hooks all of that's caused from too much right side dominance in 99% of the cases so how do you get rid of it well I have my favorite drill that's going to force you to release the club like a pro every single time if you do this drill correctly it will literally be virtually impossible for you to get into this stuff or this where you're smothering it it's going to teach you the feeling of a proper release it's a drill you can do both indoors and out you can do it in the winter you can do it in the summer you can do it hitting balls you can do it while on a conference call like I do it's drill will make releasing the club a no-brainer so let's take a look at how we do this the simplest way to force you to start releasing the club is two fingers only I call it my two-finger release drill you're going to do it with both hands to train your brain to get the feeling of this so you take your right hand at first this is your dominant hand you make kind of left-handed swings and you'll find this drill very very easy and then you take your left hand last two fingers on your left hand and do the same thing now what happens here when you have your just your two fingers on it you're going to be like this is really hard to control the club no kidding that's the point it's called a release for a reason what does it mean to release something means to let go if you're death gripping this thing and steering it through with your hands you're doing the exact opposite of releasing it you must release the club for power consistency and control those three things are kind of important in golf in fact it's the most important thing the release is what provides those three keys to the swing if you're not releasing it you're always steering it you're holding off control or holding off power you're just kind of hitting the equivalent of a check swing in baseball down the first baseline that's not going to go very well or and you're never going to let the club face square up which is going to allow you to put controlled draw spin on the ball and stop slicing it and so on so practice two fingers only get these three fingers out of the way because they're just impeding you from being a good golfer and just make some swings don't make don't worry about being too mechanical with it shift your weight and turn make the normal stuff and then hit a couple little easy shots you don't have to hit these very hard just a normal little practice swing what you'll find is it's going to feel very at first very unwieldy to get the ball to go where you want it to like it did there you may hit some off the heel you just need to stand a little bit further away if you're hitting them off the toe you're ripping your shoulders open work on getting just these two fingers to release the club and you'll find that the club naturally turns over it naturally gets into a squared up release position and it naturally gets on plane how would the club ever go up here and how would it ever go here unless i'm steering it with my body the club is always going to naturally release when i use just these last two fingers again it's going to be difficult to control at first that's normal i'm trying to learn you to teach you to give up control to gain control and when you go to put both hands back on the club the feeling is the same you're trying to replicate the same thing so start out really small at first but still focus on these last two fingers make sure the rest of your fingers are holding onto the club very very lightly and just make a nice little easy swing and let go with the right hand and see if you got the club released here you can see that i did the club is turned over as long as i did that and the ball didn't go right i know that i released the club and then i can start adding a little bit more speed i can keep the right hand on there a little bit longer and start making normal swings making full speed releases and you'll never struggle with the release again
