Love this. Good instruction. I think a lot of teachers and students fall into extremes like "don't cup the left wrist" or "feel is not real". But the truth is often somewhere in the middle. Your saying some cup on the follow-through, and "we learn from 30% feel" has that middle-of-the-road ring of golf truth. You're a good teacher. Thanks for what you do.

[@CraigHansonGolf]

Glad it was helpful! .. thanks very much for the feedback. It’s a good post 👍 .. it’s appreciated

[@TeddyCavachon]

My experience and observation of other older golfers who don’t get proper straight extension of the trail arm in the finish, which is what forces the lead wrist into extension are a lack of lateral shift at the start of their backswings and side bending of the spine as the shoulders come back to parallel. It wasn’t until I copied the side bend action of the pros seen at impact then worked backwards in the swing sequence to figure out when it should start that I got the club head force vector through impact and the finish to pull my trail arm out ram-rod straight down the line towards the target. Figure out how to extend the club in the finish and use the Vardon/Interlaced grip properly and the club force will hinge the wrists ideally automatically at the ideal time. That’s the genius of the Vardon grip, that it causes the extension of the trail wrist in the backswing and lead wrist in the finish to move into maxed out extension at ideal time to create the “tray lifting” leverage needed to control the path of the club when the change in the wrists from pulled straight thumbs-down ulnar deviation to radial deviation occurs and greatly increases to club head speed and its kinetic energy as it whips around the hands. Just try standing at address and do nothing except side bend and observe how that moves the rest of your body. Your back shoulder will drop and your hips will react by shifting laterally towards the target. The mass in your arms will also swing downward towards the ground and forward towards the target. Start doing it as the shoulders come back to parallel in the downswing and progressively increase it through impact and finish (as seen @ 12:40 in this video) and it will set-up the bio-mechanics necessary to allow the mass in the arms to change from swinging around the feet to swinging down the target line, which is what sets-up the club head mass vector being able to pull the trail arm straight down the target line. Look at the video @ 12:40 and notice how head, trail shoulder, trail and club shaft are all lined up together because the club force vector is pulling towards the camera and the side bend action creates the resistance in the trail side of the body to give the force the time necessary to pull the trail arm straight.

Hi, firstly, I loved this video, and have noticed recently that this is something I wasn’t doing, despite playing golf since I was 16. (Now 66) However, since watching your video, I went to the garden to try this out, and it became immediately apparent why I don’t do it anymore. I’ve arthritis in both shoulders, and during an attempt to do this, my left shoulder ( right handed) was in agony, so it’s my body trying to protect itself, which is extremely disappointing, but obviously necessary for me to be able to continue playing golf.

You are by far the best at breaking down what really matters in the golf swing I struggled with my finishing position for so long and the “chicken” elbow finish but after a few weeks of implementing some of the things I’ve seen in these vids I’m hitting the ball 100% proper, gained about 20 yards, and the swing actually looks nice

[@jamesbond4633]

I accidentally stumbled onto this about 3 years ago. For some reason I just let the club go with my left wrist. I started hitting 300 yard drives which I could never do. I wasn't even hitting 250 yard drives before I started bending my wrist after impact. It felt like flipping but it wasn't. I played a round with a college player ...I am 60 years old and I was hitting it just as far as him. He gave me strange looks!! I did this for about 3 weeks and I was hitting it so hard I pulled a muscle in the middle of my back. I sort of forgot about that after I got back into golfing again after some time off. I now know that was the correct way to release. Thanks for posting this. I will be doing this again!!!

[@CraigHansonGolf]

Great to hear 👍 thanks very much

[@cooperradley]

Your videos are fantastic predominantly because you focus on some extremely overlooked and misunderstood key elements to a good swing and then give great "feel" drills to try and ingrain it. For a while now I have been trying to figure out how the pro golfers always have a fully extended looking follow-through all the way to the finish. I think I have just been told how in this video. Thanks Craig. Much appreciated.

Finally! Someone describing the release in a way that always felt natural to me, but I tried to fight because I thought it was wrong. Thank you! After some experimentation, a thought that occurs to me is, try to feel that the left wrist is on top of the club at the top, and under the club at the finish. Simple, and creates more of a "swooshing" sound than I've ever heard in my swing. Thanks again!

[@CraigHansonGolf]

Thanks for posting 👍

[@ehtishamshami8823]

Love your explanation, Craig. I have experienced one thing (Actually r handed golfer) is during practicing r side bend in downswing as left-handed when going to original r handed then opposite left side bend is getting in downswing. Why left-handed? just experimenting here as can't develop bad habits when move to r handed. But quite opposite. Do u see such thing?

Hey Craig. Just wanted to say I’ve become a huge fan of your channel. You have a beautiful swing and love the in depth info. I have struggled with a chicken wing since I started played golf a couple of years ago (in addition to other problems) but this concept of the release is helping me quite a bit. The issue I was having is I was doing this at impact and losing all shaft lean. At what point do you start extending the left wrist to release it?

[@CraigHansonGolf]

Thanks very much… get yourself into the position where the pros on the follow through. Swing back .. like reverse engineering and swing through… feel like the swoosh of the club happens just after impact… Connect to different sensations… it’s one movement. It’s impossible to say that the left wrist starts to extend just at this point.

[@1averageamerican]

I'm a 19hc hitting driver 230ish. I really started working on a proper release several weeks ago. My last round I beat my index by 8 strokes and was hitting straight drives 260-265. Irons are much crisper and flying 10 or so yards longer. I still hit a few terrible shots but I have seen a big improvement in a short time. I'm saving this video and can't wait to try the drills.

[@CraigHansonGolf]

Great 👍👍👌.. good luck

[@redhed9776]

at the 1:50 mark, what I see is what I try to maintain throughout the entire swing: trail arm lower than the lead arm. That is my go-to thought for hitting fairways and it works. Thanks for reinforcing that feel with this video (even though it was mainly about release).

[@CraigHansonGolf]

Yeah i love that feel myself 👍

[@bobbys4327]

What is great is when I hit a well struck shot everything feels smooth, nothing working against something else. That is when you know you are getting closer to the swing you want.

Really good, have you looked at what the legendary Bob Toski has said about the hands and arms? Modern instructors are finally beginning to teach that you need to use your hands in your swing. However, teaching "feel" is never easy, and teaching it from a book is even harder. Yet Toski does an admirable job in this section from a chapter called -- appropriately enough -- Feeling Your Hands. "Some players might as well stick their hands in their pockets," said the great golf instructor Seymour Dunn, "for all the use they make of them." Think back to the swing in the park [Toski was talking about a child's playground swing in an earlier chapter]. Let's say it's not a swing now, but a tennis ball hanging from a rope attached to the swing crossbar. You find it at rest and you want to start it swinging. How do you begin? Do you butt it with your body or nudge it with your shoulder? Do you push the rope with your arm? Or do you set it gently swinging with an easy push of your hand so that the ball climbs and falls back before you send it on its way again? And if you use your hand, do you clench it tightly or hold it just firmly enough to start it on the natural path limited by the length of the rope? Do you stiffen your wrist or let it flex? Which will keep the ball moving without bowing or jerking the rope? In a similar way, do you "flick" your wrist slightly at the bottom of the club's arc to add speed and send it forward faster? Or do you twist your body and lunge forward to quicken the club's pace? The freedom and motion that we spoke of in Chapter 1 emanate from the hands. The hands start the clubhead moving, keep it on its natural path and sustain its centrifugal motion. It would take very little movement on your part to get that tennis ball moving at its maximum speed, and most of the movement would come from your hands. And so with your golf swing. The hands, Dunn said, are the leaders of the swing. And that surprises most golfers. You see them on the practice range struggling to lift the club with their arms or pull it with their shoulders or help it along with their legs and trunk. They twist and turn and slap and hit, clutching the club in a grip so tight their hands lose all of their natural power. "Most poor golfers," Ernest Jones said, "merely use their hands to hold the club. They don't understand that it is through the hands and fingers alone that they can influence the behavior of the club." Think about how you throw a ball or swing a racket or bat. You don't freeze your wrists; you allow them to move. But neither do you leave them "floppy" like a wet noodle, bending all over the place; rather, you tend to finish with your hands and forearms in a fairly straight line. (And just a note: If your lead wrist is bent backward after you hit the ball, you aren't letting your shoulders turn fully into your finish. The natural "pull" of the club as your wrists uncock on the downswing is to point the clubshaft straight out from you, so your shaft and arms form a nice Y-shape when seen from the front. If you don't get that, you're interfering with the natural motion somehow.) Mike Malaska did a really good vid showing how much speed the hands create! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmizhnt7dp6jpJo

I love the way you break this down.. the follow through is so damn important. Understanding this concept alone, helped my early extension tremendously from what it was. It took me years of trying to be super detailed about every position in my swing. Over those years I started to understand that just getting to a complete follow through and posted on your lead side in balance is the best "feel" in the world, and easy to replicate.

Thank you for the video. I´m a 4,5 Hcp. I´m capable of moving / releasing my hands in the way you describe. My swing thought is cupping the leading wrist through the impact. But I´m struggeling with making decent contact with the irons on a regular basis, though. Video analysis showed that there´s not enough shaft lean at impact, so I often hit it fat or thin. What would you recommend as a solution for this? Any swing thought or drill on low point past the ball? Should I pay more attention on hand position or on body position? Thank you so much!

That stretch from 3:10 to 4:35 is one of the coolest demonstrations I've ever seen. Inspired me to go take a look at your gadget. Sure enough, it covers my current bugaboo. Even their description of how the audio thing works for my "start of the downswing" issues carries the potential for solving it! If successful, I'll probably have to go back and buy the basic model just as a "thank you" move. :-) Oh, and the little wifey even paid attention when I was finally able to diagnose her chicken wing. :-) (She's under 5' tall).

[@TechGFR]

Graig, are there measurements for both hand speed and club head speed the pro's get for releasing the club in this manner? in the front on view your golf glove faces the camera after impact the glove faces away from camera. How fast does this happen and how does this effect club head speed?

[@CraigHansonGolf]

There’s different numbers of extension and flexion because of the different grips players have … The speed of the hand graphs i leave up to Dr Robert Neal .. 😊 I probably wouldn’t be able to explain that to you without writing a book here .. 😊

Great video and visual of the release, can you please elaborate what grip type strong/weak is best suited for this release typ? From what ive been learned the release type "rolling/flipping" is very much dependent on your grip. If you use the wrong release with your grip type it will not work very well. Please correct me if im wrong here.

[@CraigHansonGolf]

Amateurs generally don’t release the club effectively regardless of what grip. The only time we see a release that people call a rolling release is from professionals with weak grips .. and widish swings Tom Watson, dechambeau, Cory Pavin, i don’t think i’ve ever seen normal amateur club golfers with a rolling release. Simply because they just don’t release the club correctly.

@@CraigHansonGolf great. Thanks!

[@Haslem635]

One of the best videos ive seen. Sums it all up perfectly 👌

[@CraigHansonGolf]

Thanks so much .. i’ve filmed over 40,000 swings in slow motion in several different countries around the world. All different levels of golfers and measure wrist movement. This is the truth that has many fooled. Thanks so much for posting

[@TomIrwin]

Great video! Very timely. Something I'm working on now. Much appreciated!

[@CraigHansonGolf]

Great to here thanks for sharing and posting really appreciate you taking the time 👍

[@deshickey635]

This is gold 👌

[@CraigHansonGolf]

Thanks 👍

[@gustavonoelmoreira6917]

Wooooowwwwwwww!!!! The best class I ever did!!

[@michaelhuber71]

What I do not understand: when i force this bowing of the Hands then I will close the club much earlier or faster!? What prevent me for strong pulls then?

[@CraigHansonGolf]

??? Bowing of the hands? .. I think you should watch the video again. Did you watch the fade and draw feels at the end

[@ryandejesus7877]

Would this release also apply to driver?

[@CraigHansonGolf]

yes

[@LaidBackGolf]

100 % all u have to do to get better at release is flip your driver upside down and swing to hear the whip sound after the point of impact zone.. not before

[@CraigHansonGolf]

thanks for posting

[@ginajohnson598]

Very helpful. Thanks Craig

[@CraigHansonGolf]

Thanks good luck

[@CraigHansonGolf]

Great News 👍

[@dondiegocojones5781]

Thank you so much for your lessons, Sir... I salute you!

[@CraigHansonGolf]

Your Welcome 👍.. Thanks for the feedback. It’s much more appreciated than you would realise 👌

[@awijte6656]

at 4min58 sec: what is meant with this 45 - 55 degrees pga average angle?

[@CraigHansonGolf]

left wrist extension angle

[@lkjh00on89]

Stumbled on this video. I knew there was something wrong with my swing by the way my left shoulder would rise up so hard at impact. This is the first instruction I’ve seen that finally explains why that’s occurring. Definitely going to start working on this!

[@CraigHansonGolf]

There’s unfortunately so much junk in KZbin. I think on a whole instruction is getting worse

[@franknash6602]

Wow, I hope this isn't just a one-off but it's added 30 to 40 yards to my drives. Thanks very much I had totally the wrong idea before.

[@CraigHansonGolf]

thanks Frank

[@jayvenable4279]

Because the swing happens in a second wouldn’t one need to start the release before getting to the ball therefore hitting thin or fat shots?

[@CraigHansonGolf]

experiment and practice 👍

[@MrDent495]

Excellent! 👏

[@CraigHansonGolf]

Thank you 👍👍

[@TNGolfin]

I just subscribed. Amazing video. This video just made it click in my brain. Thank you!!!!

[@CraigHansonGolf]

Great to hear unfortunately so many golfers just don’t understand what’s really happening. Thanks for taking the time to post 👍👍

[@ClaroCapilla]

Thanks for this! I've been practicing to release the club better, and not artificially hold on to wrists angles. Been playing my best since I took this route and abandoned the body-driven "modern release" style. This (data-based!) concept that you're teaching is a vital addition to my practice. Will definitely incorporate this to my drills, Craig! Cheers!

[@CraigHansonGolf]

That’s great news .. well done… you know when i ask people to explain the body driven release or ask people to tell me their version of this so called Modern Release they can’t explain it or give me a example. It’s like a myth. Thanks for sharing 👍💪

[@huddwah]

@ 5:52 , reference for me to re-watch and try

[@CraigHansonGolf]

👍👍

[@jnvc7270]

I’ve just tried this today after watching your video once. I can’t believe how well I hit the ball. You’ve made it so simple. Thank you so much, you’ve changed my game. 👍👍👍👍

[@CraigHansonGolf]

Great to hear .. following evidence based instruction is the only way 👍

[@jnvc7270]

The genius in your video is how you’ve explained it, you’ve clarified everything as far as I’m concerned. You’ve put it all together and I’m so grateful for that. 👍

[@CraigHansonGolf]

@@jnvc7270 It took many years of filming to make it so simple

[@jnvc7270]

Thank you.

[@Gitfcsh]

i did this and i hook it hard. so i was told by my coach to stop using my wrist like that.. how can i release like this and not hook?

[@CraigHansonGolf]

watch the fade feel at the end of the video with the mobile phone drill. Your doing it wrong

[@fntsmk]

Liked and subscribed. Thanks mate!

[@CraigHansonGolf]

Thanks 👍👍 very much appreciated

[@probeh5480]

Would this be considered a hand release rather than a body release ?

[@CraigHansonGolf]

No i don’t believe so .. Hovland turns his body almost more than anyone? When i ask people to give me an example of a player that had a body release .. they often say Hovland or Adam Scott. Can you give me an example of a player who has a body release?.. Does it even exist or is it a load of crap?
