⛳ Welcome to David Leathem Golf, where we unlock the secrets to perfecting your golf swing! In today's golf video, im diving deep into how to release the golf club - a fundamental aspect that can transform your golf game. Join me as we explore the nuances between forearm release and body release techniques, catering to golfers with varying club face tendencies and find the correct way to release the golf club for you.
🔍 Are you struggling with an open clubface? Discover the power of the forearm release, a game-changing method utilized by golf legends like Phil Mickelson and yours truly. On the other hand, if you're wielding a stronger clubface into impact, the body release, as seen in the swings of Viktor Hovland and Tommy Fleetwood, might be your ticket to precision.
🚫 One cardinal rule: avoid the mix-up! I'll guide you through the pitfalls of combining these golf club release styles, emphasizing the importance of committing to one approach. In the video, I'll unveil my personal favorite way to release the golf club, showcasing how it minimizes the rate of closure on the club, resulting in consistently straighter golf shots.

Well this is a revelation. And something I've never heard before. Everyone else says you need to hinge your wrists, get a good body swing, then unhinge. I can't do it and see very few who can. It would be nice if all the instructors would get on the same page for once. Imagine if all driving instructors had a different technique, you'd have chaos on the roads. Like we have now on the course.

@Graemedargo

Thanks David. This lesson was interesting. I was trained to rotate my forearms through strike but switched to a body release a few years back. I agree with you the body release has produced much more consistency for me. After watching your video the penny dropped as my tendency with the body release is to still rotate my arms after the strike, which results in everything drawing and frequent dirty big hooks (in particular when using a hybrid...I have a love hate relationship with hybrids). As a golfer who used to hit those high weak slices with the forearm release I am just fine with the draw pattern that body release has brought me. I will practice on reducing my forearm release. Great content as always! Slainte!

I play both ways sometimes. Forearm roll is a great way to add effortless speed. I tend to use this method more, when playing a high draw. I feel like the arms, and body stay more connected, and I’m mainly just allowing the club to swing more freely. My strike, and distance is better, but I struggle with direction a little bit swinging this way. However, if I’m trying to hit a tight fairway, or pin hunting, I’m using the body swing. I’ll feel more like I’m keeping the face more square to the arc, throughout the entire swing. I’ll also turn more aggressively from the top, which naturally kicks the club out a bit. Then through impact, I’ll add some right side bend, which helps stabilize the face. This swing feels a little more restrictive, and doesn’t usually go as far. Strike even suffers a little sometimes. However, it comes out as a very predictable baby fade, almost every time. Great video! I don’t see people compare these two styles very often.

My tendency has been an open face in that P6 position. I’ve been doing your drill with the hanger on the grip to feel the closing of the club face. I’ve seen much improvement with that. Thank you for your videos.

@cclarsen72

Like a lot of people I learned the roll release first. Then after having issues with hooks I've been trying to learn the body release. I've been struggling with the roll release while doing this body release making my left misses even more drastic as you mentioned. I have made sure that I'm not coming over the top but I feel like I might be opening up too quickly and I notice when you demonstrate this you swing back and then come down to paralell before you turn. Is this intentional or do you feel you are turning straight from the top? Please clarify the entire movement from the top of the backswing. Thanks!

@Robert-ts2ef

Which method gives more speed because you need club head speed for distance. My own opinion is that the snap of the wrists used in the forearm rotation method would be faster than trying to turn your whole upper body to generate speed and finally which one is better for an old guy 73 like me? Your thoughts?

@rossmasters3281

When you did the forearm rotation version, your lead arm/hands still ended up very left. Any videos on this? I tend to roll my forearms down the target line and ive lost all consistancy.

@seadonkey6913

Very good explanation. I was taught the L to L toe up. I got back into golf and took lessons and was taught the body release, I couldn’t pick up the concept until recently after seeing my current coach. Playing very good golf.

@jeremywise3915

David do you recommend anything for me ? I am struggling with consistency I used to pure my irons and wedges just be weight slightly forward and start off in the impact position and just turn my body thinking of an in to out path but now I’m struggling with no power shots getting no height and coming over the top swiping even when I’m having an out to in feeling . I think my grip is inconsistent do you have any tips for addressing the golf ball and some ideas I can use to help with consistent divots

@Koboltgolf

I have a closed club face at p6 with irons and use more of a body rotation BUT with driver I have more of a open club face at p6 and I guess I need more of a roll release… is it common to have a another release pattern with the driver?

David, I feel like you’ve been spying on me for the last few years. I’m 55, playing for 30 years, 4 handicap and for the longest time I had a very effective body release swing.

@user-cl4uw7hq8p

Best explanation I have heard from any instructor about the two different moves with either body or rotation of forearms. Really like your videos some of the very best on you tube. So glad o found you on Facebook. Thanks John.

@wedgepitcher

Thanks a lot for sharing this inside!

@NicLewis

I've watch way too many golf videos but never seen this. Cheers!

@inuvik491

Lot of good information here, nice work.

@henrytan5707

Very detailed and very nice 💯

@rekababa6671

good video David....I played with Phil in San Diego 40 years ago! I also use the "rolling" release with a Vardon grip

@richardcorrigan2399

Good points!

@larrytravis570

I know the importance of release but never had the terminology that you so clearly explained today. TY

@clint330

BRILLIANT!!! this is what I get stuck between!!! When i was younger (god that makes me feel old to say) I was all body, but when i hurt my hip i had to change to a hands release, slowly trying to get back to the full body swing
