for more than two decades now you’ve
heard me say that the release is the
most important part of the golf swing
the release is the golf swing why
because the release both adds speed and
squares the face there’s nothing else to
the golf swing if you add a lot of speed
and it squares the face as a byproduct
of that you’ve got a golf swing and as
I’ve worked through these Trailside
release patterns one of the things
that’s become very interesting to me is
that as you’re releasing the club when
really what you’re doing is just
understanding how to release your wrist
in a specific way and it made sense to
me that if I was going to release the
club that way like the goats that I
would want to figure out what is the
fastest most efficient way to get the
wrist to work in the golf swing that
both produ produces epic amount of speed
while also naturally squaring the face
that’s exactly what I’m going to show
you in this video now there there is
definitely more than one way to release
the golf club and still play Great Golf
what we’re really going to focus on is
what the goats did in their swings and
the goats were great at being very
efficient with their wrist to get
maximum speed I believe that the
simplest way of thinking about this is
from Homer Kelly’s idea of an endless
conveyor belt it is the fastest way to
feel the club moving from this side of
the ball to that side of the ball with
efficiency now there’s lots of different
ways you can do it you can turn your
shoulders as fast as you want you can
roll your arms over as fast as you want
I think of it as releasing my wrists as
fast as I can that’s all I really care
about out and so if you want to
understand why my swing looks so slow
but produces so much speed and so
efficiently squares the ball squares the
club face into the ball listen to what
I’m going to show you in these next few
minutes because it’s going to help you
understand a concept that will change
the way that you think about the golf
swing forever so I have my trusty
chainsaw here and I have glued two
pieces of a broom uh onto the chain and
what this represents is this wonderful
idea that Homer Kelly came up with of
the this uh endless conveyor belt this
is a perfect illustration of that
because the chainsaw Works in exactly
the same way so what do you think will
happen when this first bristle of the
broom gets to the end here and it has to
move around this tighter radius this is
still an arc the bar of the chain has an
arc to it but when they’re on this part
of the bar they’re moving at basically a
constant rate to each other so the way
to think about this too just to be clear
is that imagine that this part is the of
the club and this is the head of the
club and this is the shaft of course so
this is very very similar at least in
terms of creating a wonderful feel and
visual for the golf swing to understand
how to get real speed is that as this
bristle approaches the end this part has
to go much faster to keep up with this
part because it’s going around this
tighter radius and this is what I
believe that Homer Kelly was trying to
uh illustrate with that visual is that
if you understand how to move your hands
correctly that you can create this very
same effect so let’s take a look at this
and what it actually looks like in real
life I’m going to play this through at
speed at normal speed first and let you
take a look at it and see what you see
with the the naked
eye it’s almost kind of a flash wasn’t
it let’s do it one more
time you can see just how radically fast
it accelerates as it gets onto this
curved Arc that the radius that it has
to take you’ll actually watch what’s
cool this is very similar to a golf
swing and because watch how the uh the
bristle from the broom stresses it bends
look at this it’s start just on the
precipice of going on this curve you can
see this one’s perfectly straight but
this one’s starting to bend and if we go
back just a couple frames you can see
that it was pretty straight and then
right as it starts to accelerate and the
bristle starts to feel that acceleration
the tip’s still left behind but this
part’s haul and butt because it’s
starting to go around this curved Arc
and now you can see the stress you could
imagine this is the stress on the shaft
in in the golf swing and now you can see
it’s really really curved it blurs on
this a shot at 240 frames per second
still blurred it out and then you’ll see
as it reaches it’s still very
curved as it reaches the halfway point
that’s when it’s going to actually
deflect the other way Watch What Happens
next you’ll see it
Bend back toward now it’s going the
other way it’s that energy that was
stored up as it was bent backwards has
now been released as it reaches past
this halfway point on the bar and now it
flings through and it accelerates and
then it goes back to looking like it’s
moving kind of slow again but then Here
Comes its brother coming behind and then
all of a sudden it’s going to go and
then it has to fly around to keep up
because the chain is moving at a
constant rate of speed this is the
beauty of what Homer Keller was trying
Homer Keller Homer Kelly was trying to
describe when his he had this visual of
this endless conveyor belt what’s
amazing is that you can actually not
only feel this in your golf swing but
you can actually accelerate it even more
when you think about it in terms of 3D
that the golf swing is actually
happening in so seeing that with a
chainsaw is helpful but now let’s look
at it with a golf club and start to get
a little bit better picture what’s
happening so now imagine I’m on a
conveyor belt I’m going to the golf club
is going to work around the pulley on
the end or the roller on the end of the
conveyor belt so it’s coming in straight
it’s square and then as soon as it hooks
up with the
end because that belt is moving at a
constant rate as soon as it has to go
around the
end it has to accelerate dramatically
what a great concept and what a great
feeling of the golf swing if you can get
that that free acceleration by using
physics to your advantage like Mr Kelly
was talking about but the golf swing is
happening not just in two Dimensions
like I’m doing here this is all just
happening on one plane of motion the
golf swing is happening in three so not
only can we have this motion we can
actually have more of it and multiply
that Force by using a compound surface
the golf swing is not happening just in
one dimension or two Dimensions where
it’s just moving on this plane around
the hemisphere of the ball it’s
obviously a much more compound shape
than that and the grooves on this ball
are actually a wonderful example of what
you want to feel in the release of the
golf club so if this club instead of
following the equator around the ball
what if it followed this curve on this
compound curve surface so now the club
instead of taking a wide Pathway to get
over here is taking a short cut and as
the club begins to release and work on
this Arc that is the feeling of a
release of the golf club getting your
hands to work correctly so that the club
doesn’t have to take this straight line
path it is moving in three dimensions
and when you understand how to move your
wrist to work with this idea of creating
a compound curve that is how you get
speed that’s why when you look at my
swing it looks kind of slow but
obviously I swing over 120 M hour with
my driver as I’ve shown but it looks
slow because my body isn’t moving fast
this is moving fast this is all I care
about this little sweet spot of the golf
club is the only thing that matters and
if you move this fast which is done by
the release then that’s all that matters
in your golf swing the release does two
things for you it squares the face and
adds speed what else matters nothing
else matters in the golf swing if the
club is moving fast with a square face
you’re going to hit the ball well and
the whole key to this is understanding
the feeling of how to create this
complex compound curved surface by just
using your wrists and that’s what I’m
going to show you exactly how to move
your wrist correctly just like the goats
when you see Bobby Jones snap that club
through impact you watch Tiger’s hands
turn over the feeling of how to do this
is incredibly simple and that’s exactly
what I’m going to show you in the member
video so click the link down in the
description below if you’ve never
understood the release if you want to
understand once and for all what your
hands and wrists are supposed to do
where you’re supposed to feel it in your
hands what hands supposed to do what how
how much tension should you have how do
you release them that’s exactly what I’m
going to show you in this video

  1. Makes so much sense– the club head has to move faster than the grip up the club– which has to happen with a proper release– which also means you have to have proper wrist/hands movement. It never made sense to me with most instructors who say "Body leads and Hands/arms are passive" that feel idea never made sense to me. The L to L drill realy helped me with this.

  2. Nice. Interesting thing is that Bobby Jones lets the left wrist break down more with a little less forearm rotation while tiger has very little break down on the left wrist and more forearm rotation. Your thoughts on this? Thanks
