Best Drill to Release the Golf Club with POWER

This is the best drill to release the golf club with power through the impact zone.

To create power in your golf swing you need to hit down on the golf ball. However hitting down, does not mean your body should be moving down. Instead, you should push up through the ball and let your wrists release. This way you are able to more power while still hitting down – creating power and compression.

In this golf lesson, PGA Pro Kerrod Gray and Alex Riggs demonstrate a drill that involves gripping the club halfway down the shaft and matching the extension of the lead knee with the extension of the arms and club through impact.

In this video you’ll learn the single best drill to feel how to move the body and Club powerfully Through The Hitting Zone if you were staying down with that chest and back with those hips you need to watch all the way to the end as tour

Coach Alex Rigs and myself are going to show you a drill that could change your game forever let’s get stuck in how was the extension on that one rigs through the ball about this section was it right excellent fantastic so let’s work on players who need a little bit more of

That in their follow through we see a lot of them giving it this one here chest down hips back arms Bunch definitely not the most powerful position to be in post impact correct now I saw scrolling your Instagram lots of great content there guys to check out

On rigs golf we saw this drill where you had the club grip down about halfway and you were working with a player and they had to match up a certain contact of the shaft hitting the side of their body as they extended through this lead side yes

Now I’ve never seen that before so I want you to go through in detail why this would be beneficial for a lot of players it’s helping players to understand really what release entails and I having them understand that release is just a form of unloading what

We’ve loaded up okay in our back swing if you do that drill again holding that Golf Club Midway on the shaft as we swing back so we’ve loaded the golf club we’ve got this angle here will’ll see this fantastic L position between the club shaft and that lead arm so there’s

Load here as we then travel down through the strike we don’t want to retain this angle forever if we did that if we kept holding this forever the golf club’s never going to make it to the ground the face is going to stay open correct

Players if they did find a way to strike it they wouldn’t hit it high enough so learning how to create the unload a great way to do that is actually to start firing the wrists to get this to smack the side okay so gripping down so the hands are beneath the grip itself

Probably go a little lower oh even lower okay okay perfect yeah yeah my torso is not there is it so address position we’re going to get into a setup we’re going to create this proficient back swing position nice little L-shaped structure there now my objective when am

I feeling that I’m doing this is it by the time that I’m almost pretending I’m going to whip the bowl as such or I I’d split into two parts okay from that loaded up back swing position the first thing i’ get you to feel is that you’re

Going to put pressure down into that lead foot mhm as you’re doing that those arms are going to work back underneath you okay so let’s say that it gets you somewhere around hands in front of that trail thigh now from here the key is I want you to match up the extension of

This lead knee so that’s you straightening the lead knee with the unloading of the club through through the arms so we’re timing that with that smack into your side so you’re getting used to feeling that that lead knee is going to straighten at the same time

That the club hits you yeah okay so from here down into there and then straighten and load up yeah that’s perfect now you don’t need to really go at yourself here guys save yourself some ribs and some explanations that you don’t need to make now as you swing to the top coming down

We’re trying to achieve let’s say this section of the swing here is quite an important checkpoint hands relatively in front of the the back leg shaft level with the ground can even match it up with the alignment stick that we’ve got there and then from here when we’re

Pushing off this lead side rigs we want to make sure we’re going forward right am I doing that through the ball of my foot through the heel what am I doing so when we initially put that pressure into the left foot it’s going to go into the

Ball of the foot yeah when you push back into the ground that’s when we’re going to see that pressure move a little bit more into the heel side of that lead foot yeah yeah cuz you don’t want to do this too early from that position otherwise you’ll end up just spinning

Out yeah so that can be your reference as well I think Simply Having the outcome and the idea that when you do want to finish post second stage that your hips are tucked or forward and towards the Target that will help a lot as well yeah exactly I think that is a

Unique position for a lot of golfers to get into they’re not used to having their hips be the most forward part of the body perfect so let’s say this is phase one of the drill now we’re not going to hit a golf ball like this do we

Just grip it normally and try and recreate a feel what would you suggest exactly gripping it normally trying to feel that again we’re going to do that in the same way so I would do the downswing in two parts good so you got tons of pressure into that lead foot now

From here we’re going to time the extension of that lead knee with the extension of the arms and golf club the Striking of the match through the hit perfect now players at home will see that I took a little divot there that is intent if the ball was there is that

Important oh my goodness yes yeah learning how to feel that we can have the golf club traveling down as the Body Works up this is a magical feeling that I think most of the golfing world hasn’t yet discovered I was replying to some YouTube comments last night and uh one

Of the guys that works with me flagged about three or four exactly the same thing and it’s a concept which I think is quite misunderstood a lot of players they go well if I want to hit down every everything needs to go down well no we’ve created some load on the golf club

Which is a shortening of this Arc so then as I am pushing up and I let my wrists go and we create this whip effect as I am extending through the lead side and my arms are straightening as my body is going up I am heading down and you

Can see the proficiency of that strike in the same point that’s the compression that’s the power we don’t want to be down like like this with our knees staying flexed and our chest staying down it’s also more of a guarantee yeah okay we can only get the golf club so

Far away from us so if we’re always extending our arms that radius that distance is going to be the same every single time if we’re traveling through impact and we haven’t extended so we’ve got all this forward bend the elbows the low Point’s going to be random they’re

Never going to have that compression okay so look I absolutely love this drill here mate never seen I’m going to use it a lot now with my online coach ing gripping halfway in the Sha filling it up against my lead side always mapping out that back swing we’ve done a

Whole series of videos today guys I really advise you to check them out because it will combine nicely with this one here then moving and coasting back down into this stage one of the downswing hands in front of the trail leg and then from there I feel all this

Pressure in the ball of my foot I’m going to push off that allow my hips to tuck and time up the end of the grip hitting the side of my body at the same time I also love this as well because we start to maintain our tilts feel is very

Powerful through exactly all right so one more practice swing let’s hit a shot from there down up making sure I’m hitting the ground got a good feeling about this one oh yeah that was magical you like that thanks back cheers
