drills for releasing clubhead

[egerst]

can anyone offer me any drills for releasing the clubhead as for a while now i've been holding the club off

If your swing is out to in, dont release the club head.
What's your grip like, neutral, weak or strong?

 

[egerst]

it was out to in hence holding the club off but i've been working hard getting back to in to out which is where i feel i am now, my grip is neutral.

It sounds as if you want to stop holding it off through impact.

Drill

Address the ball as normal and just before you hit it, stand up straight and make a practice swing at an imaginary ball about shoulder height. You should feel your right hand fold gently over your left.
Then drop to the ball again and quickly hit it while the feeling is still in your hands.

thanks i'm at the range most nights next week so i'll give it a try, its something that i'm really struggling with just can't seem to get the right feeling

also maybe try swinging the club with both your little fingers off the grip. that should help get the feeling you're after

When this happens to me, I use the old D.L./Faldo split hands drill.

3/4 swings, hands split on the grip, tee in the end of the butt.
Practice "L-L" turning those hands and checking the tee.....

Maybe Faldo called it "thumbs up"??

Anyway....here's some stuff. (unchecked, I'm off out the door).

Try loosening your grip, might be a quick win if you've been holding it too tightly.

Open fingers at the finish of swing, then thow a provisional club in case you don't find first one!
