Absolutely perfect.....a golf pro told me years ago that I couldn't play good golf releasing this way, well twenty years on I am now 70 years old and play to a 4 handicap and still release the club the same....what works for one does not always work for another, good content....🌟🎊🤩🥳
Thank you. I am always afraid of hooking the ball and l probably subconsciously try not to hook it but wound up pull hooking it and losing power at the same time. You explain this clearly and l will be working on it because l had accidently done it but not sure why/how l did it but now l see how it's done. Thank you.
I have been watching your videos and with my 9 iron I have gone from 120-130m to 140-150m. It has worked great, but I have pulled some balls left and I will test your tips. So far the 9i is flying great, but I don’t add distance to the 6i. My problem is low hooks. I will continue practising. Your videos are really really good! Thank you! PS. Aligning the shoulders from open to square to target helped me.
Your lessons have helped me a lot. I struggled with my wrist angles and was flipping a lot of the time and standing up at impact to square the club face. Now after watching your videos my impact position is great and I can stay down at turn through easier as I'm not having to try and square the club face, it just happens now. But the only issue I'm having is with the driver as I feel like I'm talking a lot of loft of it with this move
Ike a Mr Miagi karate practice move / wiping the windows / lifting the club. I can definitely recognise how amazing this can be for achieving a more powerful release and greats distance. Can I please ask, does your lead wrist go into extension post impact in the through swing? You mentioned it’s a feeling like throwing a frisbee, I really like that idea. It resonates. Could you please elaborate more on this frisbee throwing motion with the lead hand & wrist movement? Does this mean going from a flexed / bowed condition as your moving into impact to ultimately an extended/ cupped position at the top of your through swing? Equivalent to the trail hand bent position at the top of the backswing? Equal & opposite? Myles
@@jeyang3131 I would recommend a neutral grip for more club face awareness however slightly strong with our left hand is good as well. I just don’t like it when your right hand is strong and under the club 👍🏼
Always wondered what data your screen is showing. I get the total distance in the middle (at the 0:09 mark 204.1 yads) but what about the bottom left? Club head speed? What about the =/- 47.8? Feet off from the center line?
@@TerdFerguson +- means left or right however I did record this lesson video after around 10 amateur golfers got lessons and there has to be at least 500 swings before mine so it will not be accurate
I would like you to do a video on more of an upright swing like Bryson Dechambeau and a supinated release. I think it’s much easier to do a supinated release with that motion. What do you think? Note his clubs are extremely upright. His clubs are long and length this might be another thing to talk about.
#1 Another great video. Release, is a difficult concept, with so much bunk out there. On one of your other videos you said push your butt out on start of downswing, why?
Since I apply Kevin’s method my irons are insane, more distance and perfect impact. However, with that release I have completely messed my driver. I can’t strike one decently, it’s low hooks or directly hitting the floor. Should I change the release for the driver?
I wonder if it’s because with your driver you’re not allowing your arms to fall down to hands & arms falling equivalent to 11 o’clock (if address is 6 o’clock and your head is 12 o’clock). The out movement in the downswing comes from body rotation. As Kevin explains if you don’t start from the ground up by a drift / shift towards the target & with core rotation while retaining back slightly your upper body rotation their is a tendency to swing out over the swing plane line (out to in cutting across the ball / & often hitting down rather than the required up blow). But Kevin is the man for this job. Myles
I swing wedges with great tempo & rhythm because I'm not having to fly them very far but as soon as I move to mid irons & above, my rhythm gets too quick from the top because I have to fly them farther. I certainly can't swing every club like a wedge & hit it the proper distance so what's the secret?
is there a fourth reason? early extension, causing the club to get a dumped under the plane and the path moving too far to the right -- i think that's what happens to me !
But Kevin. Surely with the supernation process the club face is glancing the ball and is very difficult to hit the ball square CONSISTENTLY. Comment please.
If your club path is from in to out and your club face is open, it will push right, not slice. If your club path is out to in and your club face is closed, it will pull not slice. Out to in with a square face to the target will fade right. Out to in with an open face to target will slice. Physics.
This is not about the club face. This is about golfer coming out-to-in and their club will always be hitting the ball from the outside to inside, for right hand player it will be going left. Either it will hook, straight, or slice will depends on the club face. The club face orientation is easy to fix but not the body and shoulder sequence. Took me a while to recognize the issue and what to do to fix. This video is doing an excellent job about the sequence!
The root problem imho is the open club face. The rest is just compensations. Hard to cure though because it blows the player's mind, how can you miss left with an open clubface!
His swing was much different than anyone else other than Sorenstam. Both allowed their heads to turn at the same rate as their bodies & barely saw the ball at all. Duval also rotated more after impact after the ball was actually gone & was facing way left of the target. Maybe to prevent back issues. While rotating that much it was hard to see where his release was because it looked like everything was moving at the same time rather than resisting & having separation.
Ideas like this are the reason why most everyone struggles to learn golf. The truth is that if you're swinging the club correctly YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN HOLD ON. Any active control will always impede speed. The golf club is an incredibly efficient tool and a marvel of engineering ... but most people think it's just a stupid stick. The general design hasn't changed in 100's of years because it works so well, and clearly it does because we see good players using it effortlessly and essentially without thought or active control because they know how to use it. Active control is only necessary if you're using it improperly.
@@HolyGrailOfGolfI believe nothing happens naturally at first, if you just hold on and everything happens naturally you’re a blue chip and you have to be playing on some tour 👍🏼
@@kevinhwangjr Not at all. I started just like everyone else -- misunderstanding how the club works -- I set out to truly discover how the club truly works and I did and now I realize that if you're using it correctly it literally works automatically. It's almost magic, but if you're not using it properly it must be manipulated. Most everyone has hit a great shot and then realised they weren't thinking at all and they desperately try to recreate that swing but they can't and they don't know why.
I wish you concentrate on the right way to swing the club and create the proper contact with the ball. otherwise, you are demonstration becoming very confusing showing so many incorrect downswings golf’s do. (Sorry for my comments)
imo there's no such thing. Less effort looks effortless. Most of us don't allow the club to actually swing but rather pull it down with too much grip pressure which tightens everything & causes less speed thru impact along with hitting at the ball instead of swinging through it. Speed comes from the arms & wrists in sequence with a slower moving body but you must be tension free for speed.
Kevin. Teaching golf & posting videos on TH-cam is good, but it will get bored over time just hitting off flat mats into a screen. Go play a round, record and show us your game!

Kevin is very good. His instructions are most incisive.. the one on the frisbee like release with hands has had huge impact on my shots
Thank you. I was really having trouble with this. Your explanation is thorough and very helpful. Outstanding!
Very clear and applicable lesson. Thank you.
Very good explanation. I sometimes could hit a shot very long this way but not consistently. Now I know why. Thanks, Kevin.
@@danb.2605 yes for that reason we don’t want to get rid of our release, instead find one of these mistakes that you might be making!
Actually Duval releases the club like VJ , Michelson, and Couples.

More solid tips, appreciate the video
This is a channel ill be showing my friends, how have i only just found it? Thanks 👍
Lovely
great explanation. will try this out. Putting all my irons left. (I think i'm 100% rotating the upper body too quickly)
yep.. just tried it. Quietening down the upper body, straight irons. Thanks my dude.
At what point in the downswing do you start the supination?
Ike a Mr Miagi karate practice move / wiping the windows / lifting the club.

Good. What is the loft on your 7 iron!!!
29deg.
I need to master this bc I push/fade/slice all my long clubs 😫
Love your content. I'd like to see you do one on ball placement and fades or cuts.
Do training aids like Tour Aim work with your method? Thanks.
Do u suggest having a strong grip coz many say thats the way to hold the club
@@jeyang3131 I would recommend a neutral grip for more club face awareness however slightly strong with our left hand is good as well. I just don’t like it when your right hand is strong and under the club 👍🏼
When do you start your active release..(when hands meet right knee?)?
@@daveparsons7756 me personally around half way down 👍🏼
Hi Kevin , What about longer irons and woods ?
@@blueeyes6192 same type of swing for all clubs 👍🏼
So Kevin are you hitting or swinging to the right 👍dave
4:30 second time I have heard to keep club head outside of hands. This works so well if your wrists supinate. Golf much more fun.
This guy is amazing

Is this true with the Driver?

Those 3 barely had their trail hand on the club when they got thru the ball.

It depends somewhat on your grip though.
@@nelsonjames1272 amount of supination yes 👍🏼
But Kevin. Surely with the supernation process the club face is glancing the ball and is very difficult to hit the ball square CONSISTENTLY. Comment please.
@@xpress7578 yes when we make an air swing and it might feel that way but if we look in slow motion that is not the case.
If your club path is from in to out and your club face is open, it will push right, not slice. If your club path is out to in and your club face is closed, it will pull not slice. Out to in with a square face to the target will fade right. Out to in with an open face to target will slice. Physics.
@@edphillips8071 depends how open or shut the face is, there is such thing as a push slice pull hook

Why are my comments and questions being deleted?

Over the top --- you get slices.
