If you are a keen student of the game you may have noticed though that not all top players look the same. So for example what Dustin Johnson is doing to a golf ball and the way he swings the golf club might look different than Zach Johnson for example. Don't forget the whole commonality with all of us is we're trying to return that club face back to square we want that club face consistently pointing at our intended target, and repeating that speed, but what you've got to do is match the release of the club to your club face orientation. So if you're like for example Dustin Johnson you may have a stronger grip of the club the where the hands are turned to the trail side and in his case is got what we call our job both left wrist and notice how the marker on the club both is looking up the club face. It is very close go strong to his arc that's important then he holds that club face off and doesn't rotate it too violently because if he does that ball's going left so he's got a club face there's already arguably looking left.
So he needs to hold it so if you studied his swing in slow motion you see shoulders tilt under it holds the club down the target line, and almost once the ball is gone then he'll see that release happen. So he's delaying that release he's got the handle way forwards he's holding it off a little bit. Now conversely you may see other players Ernie Els or somebody like that who's got the club face in a softer position that player needs to release the club a little bit more and put a bit more rotation in. So where your club face is looking relative to they arc really is going to determine how you release that club. So I say if you someone like Ernie who has got the club in a more neutral position even sometimes open that's going to require him to use more hand action his body is going to be a little slower here to impact, and he's going to release the club more in order to square the club face up. So remember the goals the same we want to record square the club face repetitively speed but it's relative to where the club face is during the swing so it's important you match your release to suit your club face orientation. It's personal when you get that right you'll find you'll be able to hit these shots with a lot more control. So study where you are and match that release is going to be a lot better for your game.
