0:00hey everybody danny here thanks for
0:02joining us how do you release
0:03the golf club because if you're slicing
0:05it you're specifically doing a specific
0:08release
0:08that's creating the slice and if you
0:10hook the golf ball
0:11same principle there's a specific
0:13release related to that and in this
0:15week's golfers i'm going to share with
0:16you
0:17exactly what the best players do through
0:19the impact area because look
0:21they may have very different looking
0:23swings but they all look
0:25very very similar from here to here i'm
0:27going to share with you
0:28how you can get somewhere close to this
0:30so you can improve your overall
0:31consistency
0:32and accuracy in all your shots now
0:34before i get into the training though
0:35look if you're new to the channel and

0:54for free
0:56enjoy cool so what's a great release
0:59well a great release of a golf club
1:01through the impact
1:01is one that provides power and accuracy
1:04exactly the same time
1:06what does it look like with all the
1:07greeting players and the decent players
1:08at your club will be doing this
1:10it's very simple if the club approaches
1:12on an
1:13arc from around the body we've got
1:16power we've got rotational power through
1:18the shot the other thing that we get is
1:20look at this
1:21my hand doesn't have to do anything it's
1:23simple it just simply goes
1:25with the arc if you're inaccurate and
1:28you're creating hooks and slices
1:30it won't be doing this so if you're
1:32slicing it what you're doing is
1:33you won't be coming from an arc around
1:35and around what you'll be doing is
1:37from here you'll be coming down on a
1:39steep martian sound look at this
1:41if i come down steep with my hands
1:44suddenly now that's not very powerful
1:47that's almost like throwing under arm
1:48and then suddenly
1:49we have to then manipulate the hands you
1:51can see from look at this
1:53it looks more awkward this is what
1:55creates slices
1:56if you hook the golf ball rather than
1:58come down this way you then come down
2:00this way now look where you're heading
2:02you're heading out over there what
2:03you're going to have to do now
2:05you're going to have to manipulate with
2:07the hands again creating lots of
2:08curvature too much curvature
2:10when you create an arc and it's neutral
2:12like this suddenly
2:14we get much more consistency and we can
2:16generate more power
2:18question is how do you go about doing it
2:21we're going to start
2:22in real simple things we're going to
2:24start to unlock different parts of the
2:26body to help you do this what do you
2:27notice about a knack
2:29very simply look as i come back here
2:31where my hands
2:32my hands are behind me right that is an
2:35arc it's
2:36the hands start here and they work here
2:38if we can get roughly around here it
2:39makes our life
2:41so much easier if you slice the ball
2:44your hands will be here
2:45sometimes if you hook the ball your
2:46hands are here the two out in front of
2:48you and then you have to react
2:50and do all kinds of stuff right so how
2:53do we help you to get
2:54into this position the first thing we're
2:56going to do
2:57is deal from the ground up
3:00unlocking your lower body will help you
3:03provide
3:04the natural arc watch this too many
3:07people
3:07i find you might be the same here
3:09they're locked in they're rooted to the
3:10deck they're trying to stay
3:12so still over the golf ball because you
3:13want to probably try and strike it well
3:15that they're locked in now the problem
3:17is if i'm locked and i'm barely moving
3:19how do i get my arm a rotation around
3:22here i can't so what ends up happening
3:25i start to lift up my hands into this
3:27position you can see
3:28there's no arc going to happen there i
3:30then have to come down and
3:32manipulate come over the top loads of
3:34things can go wrong
3:35so we need to learn to unlock this body
3:38and we're going to do it
3:40in linear forces watch this i'm going to
3:43go backwards and forwards like this okay
3:46i'm not going side to side side to side
3:48wouldn't be rotational when it won't
3:49create an arc
3:50so we're going to go side to side so
3:52sorry
3:53linear force backwards and forwards
3:55watch this as i go backwards and
3:56forwards
3:57look how i'm creating space look to
3:59create an
4:00arc that goes naturally around my body
4:04notice my weight try and do this now so
4:05you can so you're not just listening but
4:06you can feel this with me
4:08as i move back my weight goes to the
4:10front part of my lead foot and the heel
4:12of my back foot this is unlocking the
4:15lower body which is then
4:16creating a doorway for my the arc to
4:19happen the hands to go behind here
4:21now what's going to happen on the way
4:22down very simple i'm going to reverse
4:24that process so now i start to go back
4:25where
4:26i'm now even and then how do i create
4:27the act on this way well now
4:29the weight goes to the front part of my
4:31back foot on the heel of my left
4:33okay sounds complicated when i'm when
4:35i'm describing it sometimes but watch
4:36this
4:37if you just get the habit of this you
4:38then start to create the arc because
4:40you're an unlocking
4:42the lower part of your body so that is
4:44stage number one and that's all you
4:46might want to do initially
4:47because the lower body has a dramatic
4:49impact on everything that happens above
4:51when you unlock this you also unlock the
4:53torso look the torso is able to turn
4:55more
4:56which we'll come into in a second so we
4:58might just start like that
4:59get the sensation of simply getting this
5:02motion here
5:03my wife laura gave me this little tip
5:05when i was teaching her this
5:07and she actually does that she starts
5:08off moving backwards and forwards to
5:10kind of feel this
5:12and then starts to move the club back so
5:15as this heel drops down
5:17that creates the act back around here
5:19and now look i can create the arc around
5:21here i don't have to do anything fancy
5:22with a club head
5:23i simply go back round back around
5:27and we should start to see a very very
5:28nice straight shot
5:30okay so simple simple way to help you
5:34create
5:35a great arc and therefore a very
5:37consistent release
5:38rather than one that's having to
5:39manipulate so that's your lower body
5:42unlock that start there you that's all
5:44you could do initially just simply get
5:46the feeling
5:46of the arc being created by the feet and
5:50unlocking the feet and how they move
5:51backwards and forwards
5:52stage number two it's a real common one
5:55and i think it's often just linked to
5:57the legs but
5:57we'll go into it anywhere is unlocking
6:00the torso
6:01so what tends to happen is is people who
6:03don't like you
6:04you might be the same you're trying so
6:06hard to hit a good shot
6:08and and strike the ball well that you
6:10just don't move you maybe you've been
6:11told to keep your head down
6:13but all this does is lock the torso and
6:15now if you lock the torso in
6:17how do we get our hands back here to
6:19create a knack
6:20we can't can we so what happens is we
6:22sling the club around so the club goes
6:24behind us but the club
6:26is not what we need to get behind we
6:27need to get our hands deeper yeah behind
6:30us
6:30but the club goes behind and then we
6:32just simply throw over the top in this
6:33steep angle that creates our slices
6:35or what happens is that some of the
6:37better players they go up
6:38and they go back in here to try and hit
6:40it so we need to unlock the torso now
6:43the way to do this initially is to feel
6:46how much the torso
6:47needs to move and a very simple exercise
6:50go and grab a club now simply do this
6:52put it across your shoulders
6:54okay and all you want to do is stand
6:55nice and tall and simply turn your
6:57shoulders
6:58and point the club directly at me all
7:01right
7:02then all i'm going to do is just tilt
7:04forward tilt down towards the golf ball
7:06put your arms out and you'll get an idea
7:08then of basically how much
7:10i've actually tilted and turned to
7:12create this back swing
7:14i've unlocked so you kind of get a
7:16feeling of what an unlocked backswing
7:18feels like
7:18without having to kind of make it any
7:20more complicated so do this exercise
7:22again
7:22turn the shaft point it directly at me
7:25tilt the shoulders
7:26put the shaft out like this and you get
7:28a feeling of how
7:30we've moved let me show you from this
7:31angle so you can see standing tall here
7:35point the shaft that way tilt forward
7:37and now
7:38you can see it gives you a feeling of
7:40your destination point of a backswing
7:42so now suddenly i'm unlocking the lower
7:45part
7:45i'm unlocking the upper part here and
7:48i'm creating
7:50this motion where are my hands they're
7:52behind now aren't they
7:54what if they're behind what can i do i
7:55can move this club
7:57on an arc back around the body
8:00and get a very very consistent release
8:03pattern
8:04so let's have a look at this in action
8:06now i would recommend you when you do
8:08this
8:08doing half swings just to here so you
8:10get a real feel of it back around you
8:12could even stop
8:14and move okay just nice and easy to
8:16start with
8:18so we're going to feel the unlocking of
8:19the feet one stop feel that there and
8:22i'm going to do now is unlock it
8:24on the way down and create the arc
8:27on the way down should be nice there you
8:28go nice and straight shot
8:30so we're unlocking the legs we're
8:33unlocking the feet
8:35suddenly we can start to create these
8:38lovely acts
8:39and lovely releases let's have another
8:41look i want more of those
8:54so you've unlocked the leg you've
8:56unlocked your body what do you do with
8:57the arms well do you know what
8:58they then react to the forces that
9:00you're just putting on them so just like
9:02when you throw a ball and you kind of
9:03start with your legs and you
9:04unlock your torso the arms naturally get
9:07thrown in here and then watch this when
9:09you react and get your legs unlocked
9:10here
9:11then you toss a lot the arms get thrown
9:13on the arc here
9:14this is how you generate speed now
9:17clearly speed might be something that
9:18you want to kind of
9:19resist initially but feel with those
9:21heavy arms
9:22how they react by the way to
9:25the forces from the ground upwards
9:29so we're building it here as i get this
9:32motion here
9:33that unlocks the torso then because i'm
9:36locking the torso what's he gonna do
9:38well i'm connected to the golf club it
9:39unlocks the golf club so i'm swinging
9:42the club back now where my hands here
9:44now what creates the downswing well
9:45again what am i doing the feet start
9:48they get unlocked on the way down the
9:49forces then go this way with the fee
9:51when the forces go this way what does
9:53that create we've just seen it creates
9:55the arc going
9:56around and as i go around there we go
9:59we get the club consistently swinging in
10:02a way
10:03that's always in an arc we aren't
10:06reacting
10:07to the club by hanging on to it if we
10:09hang on to it by the way
10:11too tightly it's almost pointless doing
10:13this because suddenly
10:14we could still direct the club in all
10:16these different directions but if we
10:18allow
10:18these forces from the ground up to
10:20naturally translate all the way to the
10:23club
10:24you'll start to create this arc from the
10:26ground up
10:27just like you would do if you're
10:29throwing a ball
10:31throwing a discus you name it but you've
10:34got to unlock
10:36the legs unlock the torso so that you
10:38can create the hands put the hands
10:40behind here
10:42they work around and through so
10:45hope you really really enjoyed this
10:46lesson this is such a very very useful
10:49thing
10:50to learn and get a feel of it's easy
10:53and obviously you're going to have
10:55different abilities in terms of
10:56flexibility don't worry
10:58you might not be able to turn back as
10:59far absolutely fine doesn't matter as
11:01long as you're unlocking a little bit
11:03you'll get exactly what you need to
11:04create this shape so what do we say
11:08step one get the feeling unlock the legs
11:11straight line motions okay looking like
11:14this
11:14when that happens this unlocks the hip
11:16it unlocks the torso
11:18you might not want you not might not be
11:20used to feeling what a lone lock torso
11:22feels like
11:23so do this exercise stand tall point
11:26here
11:27tip forward feel what it's like to have
11:29an unlocked torso
11:30that gives you a destination point okay
11:33to turn
11:34two then third and finally allow the
11:36arms and the shoulders
11:38to swing and then react to the forces
11:40now watch this if i don't get the forces
11:42going like this
11:43and i move them sideways what does my
11:45arms do they get stuck inside that's
11:47your hook
11:48okay so when you create these motions
11:51backwards and forwards
11:52you start to create arcs you start to
11:54create shapes and the club face
11:56the release through impact is so much
11:58more consistent because it's not having
12:00to be
12:01manipulated so i really hope you enjoyed
12:04this golf lesson if you did
12:05please give it a thumbs up maybe share
12:06it with some of your friends who could
12:08do with a little bit of help and of
