Drills

[Midnight]

Hi,

anyone got any drills to help with the release stage of the swing , for some reason apart from being a gimp , I can not seem to get how to roll my wrists/hands over .

I think I have explained it correct , sure some one will tell me if I haven't.

Cheers

Midnight...

The 'release' should happen naturally without you trying to manufacture a wrist roll to square the clubface up.
2 things you can check.....
Are you rolling your wrists on the backswing? If so, dont.
is your grip a little weak?

In my experience, limited I know.

The only thing that comes from activley rolling the wrists through impact is shots that go low and left.

Listen to Bob (^) He's forgotten more than I'll ever know about the golf swing!

How are your shots going left or right etc?

Cheers Bob, my grip is weak as I have being trying to relax my right arm as I have been told I am to tense, I don't think I roll my wrists on the back swing. I do struggle to get/keep the club face square though.

Take a club and address the ball. Start your backswing. When the shaft is parallel to the floor where is the toe of the club pointing?

You may be getting problems with releasing the club due to swinging too hard from the top. IMO the release is what happens two feet from the ball on the way down through to two feet past the ball. Try taking a nice smooth backswing, dont hurry the transition phase, bring the club down easy from the top and let it gradually gain momentum as it swings through the ball. Think of the action you would use to push a kid on a swing, slow from the top and gradually faster through the bottom of the arc. The 'release' will then happen all on it's own.
