Releasing the Golf Club

[@MrWhyteknight]

I don't ever comment on YT - but this video transformed my golf game in 10 minutes. 30 years of struggling with ball striking, clubhead speed, flipping the club, countless lessons. All resolved - absolutely amazing. It feels like cheating. Thank you so much for this fantastic video and explanation!

[@780Chris]

This has quickly become my favorite golf instruction channel, just crystal clear explanations and with no assumptions about what a golfer should already know.

[@JKMGolf]

Thank you!

[@nivlek.l7975]

why does my instructor tell me when u are at the final down swing you should only use force with you trail arms ? i see that you use quite balance in the lead arms

[@jeannettelucienne]

Could not agree more. ❤

[@jedsantos2218]

​@@JKMGolfsir i've been holding my lead arm without release, how to fix this?

[@BertrandGagné]

Greeting from Montréal, Canada 🇨🇦. As a school teacher, I can recognize an excellent golf instructor when I see and hear one. It is great that you show what NOT to do and show the right way to do especially with people like me having limitations. Not every golfer are 30 year old 6 feet tall and 160 pound. Thanks for the great videos.

[@mikhailkimbel7476]

One of the few guys on KZbin actually teaching a proper release instead of this bow and rotate nonsense. Every single tour pro releases hard and aggressively with the hands.

[@陳憲宗-j4h]

I’ve watched as many as 100 golf lessons in Japanese or in English ,you are the best.

[@JKMGolf]

thank you so much!

[@annetteramage9071]

Tried this today at the range with just 25 balls then played 9 holes - in 2 over par ‼️ I’m a 12 handicap! THANK YOU 🙏😀

[@ssparko7776]

My forearms hurt now since I never used them until I saw this video. What a great video channel. Thank you Jonathan. Subscribed.

[@johndemartini2868]

This is one of the best explanations of what the hands/arms need to do in the swing. As usual Jonathan, you take a difficult concept and make it easily relatable/understandable and the drills really help to FEEL the proper moves. You are one of the best teachers out there- thanks for putting these videos out, and please keep them coming.

[@samuelc.severino3074]

You have made the release of the club head very simple to understand ! I just wish you were around 30 years ago 😎 Thanks for your lessons, they are very simple but bring very good results . Thank you Jonathan !!

[@nakuladavi9588]

Wow...I'm a beginner and been searching hundreds of vids for beginners..finally I search no more after find this channel. Kamsahamnida...

[@ЮрийБаранаев]

Very interesting to see the release from the side of the ball flying out!

[@AnonymousAgronomist]

You are hands down the best YT golf instructor I’ve ever watched. Thank you for your content

[@stephenjacob9316]

Agree

[@MarcusHammonds74]

That explanation was solid. I'm gonna use this tip.

[@nigelsibbald1251]

Great content.....I've tried to get my head around the release for 30 years. After watching one of your release lessons, everything just clicked. Your explanation was so clear and concise. My swing now feels effortless and powerful. I now have a clear sequencing imprinted on the "golf cortex" of my brain. Many thanks o wise one for showing me the light!

[@gregorymiller7861]

😂 love that drill. I have always had issues with releasing the club. I was pretty much what you describe . I was playing poorly of late n in one practice drill session I went out today and was hitting it with some speed. For 1 session it was game changing. Gonna keep drilling at home. Better than hitting balls. Funny how someone can explain it in such a way u just get it. Appreciate ur work jkm. You are a good teacher in your ability to communicate in just the right way. Bravo

[@johneychia250]

Thanks you. Hitting longer & straight. Wish you were in my time 15 yrs ago.

[@TheDonzim]

Best golf instruction on YT . Easy to retain the lesson and taking it to the range because of how JKM explains the method. Not only is JKM a great instructor but a great communicator and not over complicate a lesson which you will find on other YT vids. At 63 Im done with swing changes but JKM lessons are a breathe of fresh air. Made me subscribe!!

[@ssparko7776]

Your comment makes no sense. Why would you NOT want to change your swing? Isn't that why you are here?

[@TheDonzim]

@@ssparko7776 Like I said I look at other vids NOT to change anything , rather to watch teaching methods or maybe pick up a tip. Can you comprehend that.it’s called a compliment /comment.

[@ssparko7776]

@@TheDonzim learn how to express yourself better. It's not hard.

[@geoffreybslater1146]

Just want to say that your videos on setup and how to swing in to out, transformed my game! Thank you!

[@cryptohashman1495]

Nice drill, great explanation of releasing the hands

[@1675578]

This lesson is the best description of the release that I have seen. I rushed out to try it and it worked so well that I couldn’t wait to voice my review. Thank you JKM !

[@rteach1]

Best explanation of release I have ever seen.

[@charliedesiles54]

Hi There 😊 I started golf 2 years ago go and got different pro teaching me but non of them have been as useful as your way of teaching. You are skilled for passing the golf message. Keep it up 👍.

[@diwakarkale6680]

Thanks!

[@petegalindez9961]

You’re an absolute stud…for YEARS I’ve been working on the rotating of the body to get the speed through the hitting zone and couldn’t understand where all my speed went…I did have both hips replaced, so that has slowed me a bit, but I’m 54, very athletic from playing ice hockey, and hit the ball solidly…before trying your drill and working on getting those hands rotating, I was hitting my PW about 115…I play Mizuno MP 221s…after doing this drill for the last few days, I’m starting to see a much better ball flight and distances are more like 125…you da man!!

[@timklein9470]

I have found releasing the club to be the most difficult part of the golf swing for me. This Dude broke it down in the most simple way I’ve seen it explained. Thank you!!

[@epdiablo25]

Not releasing the club head has always been an issue for me. Even when I get in the slot I, occasionally, don’t release the club head. I adopted your thumb drill (another video) a few months back and it PROFOUNDLY impacted my ball striking. Just top notch, clear instruction. This is my go to golf instruction channel.

[@ortizandres2772]

Best tip for all handicaps, Golf fundamentals

[@longbow101]

This is what we all need but on one is talking about!!! You are the best!!!

[@danpalka103]

Amazing and clear instruction. You have a very bright future young man. Thank you.

[@JKMGolf]

I appreciate that!

[@nunyo7259]

Tried so hard for the longest time to not let the release happen and to rotate hard really killed my distance, this is what I needed

[@alpatel5702]

You’ve upgraded the studio, looking great!

[@tonyliu1361]

It is the best instruction that i ever watch. Just by watching, it felt like my game will get better. Lol. Sound ridiculous. Can't wait to test them out on the range.❤ thanks alot for sharing🎉

[@RMNSChannel]

Great explanation & demonstration, thank you so much.

[@jordanbundoc7089]

Great content brother, love your channel. Keep it up and God bless 👊

[@kirksmith786]

Great video. Just to add to that, I wonder if you could explain how to then consistently square the clubface? Any drills would be much appreciated!

[@Brandon-co8fs]

This guy has some great content, drills and very well explained. Keep it coming pls!!

[@nickkhyu]

Best instructor for sure

[@artlass6116]

My to go to instructional video in learning the correct way of driving golf balls. Thank you.

[@rusco88]

This is golden info for someone starting in golf like myself, thanks heaps!

[@nnnixu]

OMG, have you seen my swing or how did you just described it so spot on.. Now I know what to focus on. Thank you!

[@makangeleezy]

This is the best golf instruction channel

[@MoAntphonyMo]

This has been one of my biggest flaws. And my coach showed me I was holding through impact without the release. After releasing, I was finally able to make draws instead of my fades

[@method341]

I have the same problem. I am holding through the ball. How did you fix the issue?

[@jedsantos2218]

Same with me

[@jedsantos2218]

@JKMGolf

[@richardpascoe1859]

Hi mate. Richard frim Sydney here. I appreciate your efforts in clarity. Ive never been able to keep my top half,including my head behind the ball at impact. I will try your noodle drill. Do you have a video explaining the "AFTER IMPACT" POSITION.kind regards

[@vivasslazio]

Amzing and detail intructions, thanks for advice Mr.Kim

[@jameshutt4857]

Great explanation! I've watched many many videos but this is the first that successfully explains the mechanics . The reason "why" is finally clear. Thanks!!!

[@garthfisher-by2ev]

I reallly enjoyed this discussion which answered my previous question about impact and relelalsle. Thank you so much.

[@annzuleediamohamad9216]

Am really loving this channel. Instructions are very clear and I can relate to the mistakes that are highlighted in the videos. Will try the drills suggested. Thank u JKM

[@UncleAlbertRoss]

I'm scratch and I'm looking at release vids because I don't clear hips consistently so i shoot 3 under then 8 over, I believe it comes from the release, I have no problem on speed I bomb it, but can have my hips square still so it looks flipped. But this vid on release is excellent, gonna try it and see if it syncs up the hips

[@deeznewts4186]

This is an eye opener. Thanks JKM!

[@vicco55]

Very well done. Johnathan explanations and articulations of the key points during the swing sequence was extremely helpful. His descriptions are the best I have ever heard. Thank you sir.

[@sownumpang]

great lesson on releasing the club.

[@flystehu]

Fantastic! The best instruction of club release! Will go and try out in my next practice. Thanks for this. 🎉

[@charver6782]

I love the feel associated with stopping the club quickly after impact. How do you bring this to the golf course and allow the full follow through to come back in while maintaining the principles of release?

[@jonathanneale8767]

This is just brilliant advice . Thank you so much . Explaining what the coaches are trying to achieve by slowing a ‘flip’ down is really helpful . JN

[@p.scottrice8235]

Great video!! Release is what I am working on.

[@SasuTheGolfer]

In 2018 I wanted to have more conpact and consistent swing due to the lack of practice. I thought that the hand release will increase my inconsistency and need for practice. Been struggling for 5 years now and finally starting to realise I was doing the opposite whst I should have. I was a really good junior player and I used my hands back in the day corretly, but I thought that I hit it well because I was practicing so much that it was consistent. Oh how wrong I was. Now I am excited to start practicing swinging with my hands and perhaps competing again when I get my old consistency back! Thank you for reminding myself that no arms only body do not translate to consistency. Only to weak shots.

[@veikkakorhonen]

I am trying to work on this and I found this video helpful. When I do the drill you suggested at the end, it sometimes causes me to close the face too early and hook the ball to the left. I think my grip is solid, as I can see the knuckles on both of my hands. Is it just that I turn my wrists too early and close the club-face too much before impacting the ball? BTW, enjoy your videos a lot and want to see more on course content!

[@kingtosin]

After watching the video yesterday, i tried to release my driver base on JKM video. OMG this morning game, i am driving 20m longer. Thank you so much for this excellent tip.

[@jamesdegrace3767]

Great drill, your lessons are very informative, and helpful, thanks

[@voravitrakwong]

Good Idea for club overtake the hand to gain more speed. Thanks

[@jcgolf159]

Great stuff. Be great if you could go over enhancing distance for more senior and/or physically limited swings ie) unable to hip turn much during backswing as well as a much-abbreviated backswing (below shoulder level).

[@dannylaw7367]

Great explanation.

[@Schnoberich]

Thanks a lot for this perfect presentation with high practical use. If the Impulse transfer to the ball is maximized by slowing down at the 45 degree release position,this means in converse conclusion, that the acceleration for higher ball speed happens between P6 and the 45 degree release point ?

[@TheMarkoFromCroatia]

Incredible explanation and drill!

[@nigelsibbald1251]

I thought I should add that I can now delete the hundred other KZbin golf instructor rants now that Johnathan has shown me the way the truth and the light. I believe again!

[@JKMGolf]

Thank you!

[@andythomas2796]

Great explanation Jonathan.

[@ferdinandjimenez346]

good stuff! going through this now and is really tricky for me. Your explanation will help me work it out.

[@shanekeeley405]

Once you accomplished the decel and both arms are straight, how do you finish the swing? It feel’s insanely awkward to me. Awesome videos! I’m a 5 hdcp and have always struggled with the release and timing due to the lack of understand of the release! I look forward to working on this a ton.

If you are ever in Singapore let me know!

[@usersrule]

Lesson well done.

[@whrecordings]

Ty for this Jonathan, for the last year I've been working on my hip turn, setting the club and releasing, & this video gave me a specific move I was missing in that sequence.

[@zazenforever4940]

Thank you. Excellent instruction. As far as the right wrist goes - do you maintain the right wrist angle all the way through impact and into the follow through or does it straighten past impact with the arms?

[@davidwhitnall9783]

This is great content but do you have a video just on the deceleration of the body?

[@wesdavies2455]

Been down a long rabbit hole with parts of this, had a full hip replacement 2 years ago and has gone from a mint Powefade to a hook to a good off shank to now just don’t know what’s going to come out of the bag, gone from a 6 hcp to a 9.4 and Sunday shot 75 but still didn’t feel in control of the ball…🏌🏼‍♂️🙄🙏🏽🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Hi Jonathan first time watching well done. I struggle with distance and a slice I will try your tips next time I’m out on the golf course my mates would use an 9iron I would use a 6 and still not get there. You explain thing very well Thank you. All the best Jon. I’m of to find you on Instagram

Great video Kim-Moss. Could you kindly give us a refresher video on the grip you personally use. Whether to do a long thumb or short thumb
