I am currently working on these 3 releases too, and it was so helpful seeing and hearing someone work through them. I did about 100 of release 1 and 2 in the garden tonight, and only a few threatened the windows! Progress! 😅

Thanks Jess. I'm new to your channel as well. I've watched that Dan Grieve/Rick Shiels short game video so many times, bought the book, and made checklists on all 3 releases. The way you took your time, showed the steps in order, and explained them was very helpful. As a beginner, I sometimes still get the releases mixed up. But, when I hit one correctly, it is very rewarding.

But here in Canada…most of our grass surrounding greens are a bit more high / tick grass…grain opposite of the green to add on difficulties so adjustments have to be done & secondly greens looks slower than greens in North America + 11 or 12 . ❤🎉 appreciations + many thanks to our Guru Dan :)))

Love Dan Grieve stuff, I've been working on the releases as well with some better results. I've got one of those 3 ft circles I put around the hole and challenge myself to get 8 out of 10 inside the circle using DGs techniques, my best is 5 at the moment. brilliant to see what you've taken from it and implemented it in your game, I've been trying his bunker technique as well with better results in terms of strike but still struggling to control distances such is the golf journey

Jess, just subscribed. Like you I have the book and learned a lot from Dan, most recently from his lesson with Jimmy Bullard. I think you're correct that on your release 1 your rotation isn't quite there yet, maybe just a bit tentative but I would have been delighted with those shots on my first attempt on camera ! I've just come back from a practice session with my 58deg and as Dan instructed Jimmy, I made a positive effort to cup my lead wrist at transition, thus keeping the face open and the bounce working. The results were instant both off tight lies and the bunker. I've never been able to hit this shot before !! 😃 I'll follow your progress !

I absolutely LOVE his book and videos. I've even made my own spreadsheet with notes and data. My chipping was always pretty decent and for me the Release 1 was tough to use instead of a spinny 56 or 60, but when I started practicing, I clearly saw the misshits were much better. The bunker techniques however, were what did it for me. I actuvely avoided hitting into bunkers, either going long or short when needed, but now I quite enjoy it. I've recently started working on his piching adress system, writing down my yardages with each one and I love it. It fills you with confidence when you get a number you've practiced already. Can't recommend the book enough.

Picked this one up from Golf Monthly's recent 'how to spin your chips shots with Dan Grieve' (as I do follow Dan). I've been practising the 3-Releases for some time, and fortunate to have a good short-range facility nearby, and a coach who has taught with Dan - I still want to do his one-day school though. I'd really really recommend the left leg only drill for Release-1 (and it is good to concentrate on that left shoulder), and the no thumbs drill for Release-2. The thing that helps me the most (which you did not mention) is really pick your landing spot. I practice Release-1s from 20-30ft and ~40ft and try to get 7 out of 10 in a 3 foot circle around the hole.

Thank you for watching, Mark! That's a great shout on the no thumbs drill for Release 2 as I think my Release 2 can become too much of a Release 3.

Maybe just the way it came across - really like your presenting style by the way - and wondered if you had practised Dan's A1,2,3 pitching system?

I've tried so many different chipping techniques, hinge and hold, Pelz method, putting method and I've been working with Dan's techniques over the past 3 months and I've experienced success and more consistency. However, I do continue to struggle with his pitching technique. In the southern part of the US we get some tight ball positions, the heat can be 100 F / 37 C in the summer and often for weeks. The grass is often very short and it's hard to do a release 2 with a pitch and I struggle with getting height and distance with using this method as a pitching technique.

Thank you for watching, William! I’m still getting to grips with Dan’s pitching technique - I think I read too much into using Release 2 for pitching and was trying to take his chipping Release 2 method to pitching. And then I saw his latest KZbin video on pitching, where Dan talks about the adaptations to make when using R2 for pitching. I’m sure you’ve seen it but I believe he also did a video on tight lies, like Bermuda grass, which might be interesting. We’ve got the opposite problem here in the UK at the moment - very wet lies!

Your comment that you need to "be brave" is a great thought that I'm definitely going to adopt. I find that if I'm tentative and don't commit I end up decelerating or worse.

We need to use a release 1 and just accept whatever we can get out of it.

Not quite the same story as you... but close. I started golf around 30... played for number of years and became a 5 hdcp. Work took over and I gave up the clubs for about 13 years. BUT took it up once more in late 2022 and was even struggling to break 100! It was soul destroying and tough. But with a few lessons and tonnes of practice, Ive set out to become better than previously. Addressing my short game for me was a biggy! So when I discovered Dan on the internet I too became an avid fan, purchased his book and have never looked back. I'm currently down to 6 hdcp, but now with a much more confident short game, I expect this summer to get down to about a 3 or 4. Favourite release is probably release 2. I truly love it. I use the two tone Srixon balls to see the spin in action. It's so telling of the spin in the different release. Keep going! And when you get to use release 3 in bunkers, it's a game changer. Such a simply consistent concept.

Wow Rich, that’s awesome! Congratulations on getting down to 6 - I really do know the work that goes into that! I feel the same about Dan’s work and can’t wait to put it into action on the course this season🤞. I’ve been getting there with release 3 out of bunkers but still a bit of work to do to have that full confidence. Plus our bunkers are a bit more wet/compact sand with the weather at the moment 🤣 but even that part of Dan’s book has been so helpful to know how to adapt. Thank you for watching!

I've literally just come back from the range where I was practising R1 and R2 then stumbled across this video, so I found it really useful to hear someone else's experience. Dan's given credit throughout, so more promoting than stealing.
