- Looking for a more consistent strike and ball flight, then you should definitely focus on the movement through impact. Are you relying too much on your hands or making a body rotational release?

I get more power and increased repeatability with the body swing release. I was mixing the two for so long with confusing results. Thanks for the help!
Good stuff! Thanks for the comment 👍🏻
For an older golfer like myself, I find the wrist release to be much more easy to do..
I was JUST about to type that when I saw your comment....couldn't agree more. Ive tried the body release but I get a load of back problems, so I'm going back to the wrist release
This was extremely informative and helpful. Your best video by far! I struggle with a cupped wrist/open face at impact. This video was the “ah-ha” moment I needed! Thanks!
You are so welcome! Glad it helped, thanks for your comment 👍🏻
I desperately need this, great video.
Many thanks, hope it helps
Great stuff. Something I have been working on. Thanks
Good stuff!
The other day my swing was awful, yesterday it was the best it's ever been.I started literally pushing my club face closed to the ball on my backswing, coming back on the same plane in the downswing. My posture was usually pulling up as you demonstrated, now keeping my front shoulder down and rotating through a huge improvement.
Now I believe I turn better through the ball everything I hit is straight now, and I also had some club movement before impact using a very slightly stronger grip has eliminated that.
Great video!
Great to hear. The face won’t actually be closed in the backswing but less open. Always happy to take a look if I can help. I’m offering the first online lesson free, so let me know if I can help at all. I can send info if you drop me your email address or get in touch via my website 👍🏻
Good video ❤
This is excellent stuff!
Thank you 🙏
"Love " it this is just what I'm working on, going well
Great, hope the video helps 👍🏻
Hand released just before impact has two virtues at once. 1. the club path is switched from down and through to up and in. 2. Additional club head speed exactly where you need it.
Been trying the body swing Jon but I am not getting any height, all the shots are lower than the expected loft. Am I getting the hands too far ahead on impact thereby delofting the club face too much? IShould the club shaft and club face be in line at impact or should the hands be ahead for compression? Thanks
Hi Robert, hard to say without seeing some swings. I’m going to make a video offering everyone a free online lesson, maybe of interest? Drop me an email to jon@trugolf.co.uk and I’ll send info.
The amount of shaft lean (hands ahead of the club would depend on the club, ball position and shot your trying to hit but as a general rule if you could have your hands ahead with a mid iron by around 5 degrees (Tour average more 10) with a mid iron but around level with the clubhead with a driver.
Confused….Why wouldn’t you take a stronger grip to create the affect? Or should you use neutral grip and turn the left wrist down?
A stronger grip would create more wrist hinge (rotation) for the hand to return to its neutral position. This will help close the clubface but create a higher rate of clubface closure (often less consistent) changing the wrist angle instead should mean more clubface control (a slower rate of clubface closure at impact)
Does that make sense?
Freddy Couples prefers the hands release.
A blend of the two as he does open body well through impact too!
I find body release to be less flippy and helps me finish with a good posture
Isn’t the body release more of a strain on the back for a senior golfer (73)?
Potential, depending on flexibility. I’m not suggesting there isn’t hands in the release just that you want the body to keep rotating also. Many senior golfers limit this by keeping their head down to long, not flairing their lead foot out at set up and often starting with too much pressure into their heels at set up.
Yes Robert. Jason day will not be able to swing in his senior years like he is now but Phil mickleson and Freddie couples will be able to swing well into their senior years relatively the same. But with a hands release you can miss left or right. Body release you can just aim down the left side of the fairway and hit a fade all day
@@TruGolfAcademy I am finding the body release to be less stressful. Less effort more power.
Wonder who you was talking about with the good wrists but bad posture 👀😂
I don’t know 🤷🏻♂️ what your talking about 😂
You'll hit it further with a hands release, you should only bother with a bodybrelease if you your hitting some shots way too far and your draw is becoming more of a hook. If you're a slicer learn to draw the ball then reign it back in later with the body.
Absolutely not, you couldn't be more wrong.
We absolutely need our hand speed but personally I would like this to be down cocking the wrists and moving from flexion to extension of the lead wrist. Time that with body rotation and we have something great!
@@TruGolfAcademy I just imagine the clubhead is attached to the handle by a piece of string and swing the blubhead backwards and forward around my body. As long as I maintain the feel of swinging I hit it straight every time. Absolutely no need to think of anything else other than the feeling in my hands of swinging the weight of the clubhead.
@@stephenjones9840 I think the swing is more technical than that.
