Golf tip: Discover sensation of clubhead release
Golf tip: Discover sensation of clubhead release
In a recent tennis match during the U.S.Open one of the players let go of his racket when serving, it flew across the net and the player lost the point(cheap golf clubs).
Discussing the incident in the commentary box afterwards Annabel Croft pointed out that releasing the racket, or ‘throwing the racket head at the ball’, when serving was a drill used by the Williams sisters when practising their serve (Taylormade R9). Apparently they used a stack of rackets and threw them at the target after the ball, which ensured the correct release.
We can use a similar concept in golf when ‘releasing the driver club’ on a full shot. When you make a good swing and the (R9 driver )club slips out of your hands it should fly into the distance on line with the target.
With a golfer who slices the ball or hits the ball with an out-to-in swingpath, the club would fly to the left of target. Conversely, a golfer who draws the ball would tend to ‘throw’ or release the (R9 driver )club to the right – reflecting an inside approach into impact.
While I’m not advocating throwing your clubs when practising, imagining the club (or a stick) being released into the distance after the ball, certainly encourages a straighter, more natural release at impact.
