Most golfers have been taught to force the release… and it’s quietly ruining their iron play.
In this video, I’ll show you a completely different way to think about the release — one that works with your body instead of against it.
This isn’t about flipping the hands or timing it perfectly. It’s about understanding what the release actually is and why great ball strikers make it look effortless.
You’ll learn:
Why the traditional idea of “releasing the club” causes inconsistency
What should really be happening through and after impact
A simple but powerful drill (using a child’s toy!) to help you feel the correct release instantly
How this movement leads to better strike, better compression, and more predictable iron shots
If you’ve struggled with thin shots, heavy strikes, or inconsistent contact, this will change how you see your swing — and how you practice.
👉 Try the drill, then let me know in the comments what you felt.
