Golf Swing Release

The release in a golfer swing is a very important aspect of their game. This is where the speed will greatly increase the distance in which the ball will travel. The release is where the power of the swing lies. You want to have the proper grip so that you do not have too much tension built up in your forearms. This will create a hitch in your release with the possibility for less speed and accuracy.

Many golfers have a grip that is much too tight. You should hold the club loosely as this will allow for the right wrist to hinge properly on the release. If you are holding the club most in the palm of the left hand, you right wrist will not be able to properly hinge. This will create a problem in the release, also in the result of the entire swing.

The club should be ideally held in the left hand with it setting at the base of your fingers. Most of the weight or pressure should be on the last three fingers. This will give you a better feeling of control on the club. This will also give you a more natural feel during the swing. There is no need for a lot of pressure just enough to feel when to release the power of the swing. The right hand should feel the pressure of the club on the middle two fingers. This will allow you to have a more natural swing path.

If you are holding the club properly, your swing will find the natural path. You will not have to consciously think of where and when to allow your wrist to cause the release. It will take some time and practice to get the right feel of the club in your hands, but soon it will be very natural with out much thought to it.
