5:47 photobombed by a deer... ;)

Time after time simply some of the best instruction on KZfaq! Just outstanding. Thank you!

Someone perfectly articulated, "The best explanation of wrists and release at impact that I have seen " !!!!

I have seen quite a lot of KZfaq videos about golf teaching, no matter Asian, European, American, your way of teaching is the best for me!👍👍👍 Thank you very much Adam ! Really appreciate your contribution in golf teaching! It save me a lot of money and time ! Thanks again!🙏🙏🙏

I’ve been studying golf videos for over four years...these are the highest quality instructional videos you can get...and no, this this NOT a paid ad or am I associated with the site in any manner. Adam simply can teach the game of golf.

Best explanation I’ve found on KZfaq of the wrists and release at impact. Thank you! 👍🏻

Great video Adam. I've watched Tiger hundreds of times but your analysis finally showed me why and how good he is. Thanks, see you again.

I love the lessons Adam! I've learned a lot from your videos!

Love your lessons and cant wait to try this drill!

Hey Adam, thank you for the great lesson! I started playing golf last month, and I've gone to the range almost every day to practice my swings. I never really understood how to properly swing the golf club until I watched your video today. I had an a-ha moment when you were discussing the sudden abrupt stop drill, and it has completely transformed my swing. My swings look so much more natural and compressed! My shot has become so much more natural, and I'm not slicing the ball all the time anymore. Thank you so much for sharing your drill and your golf expertise!

Great instruction. Can’t wait to practice that! Thanks Adam.

I’ve been looking for a definitive way to move the hands and release the club properly for YEARS! I can’t thank you enough Adam.

I always come back to your instruction after so many you tube videos.

Absolutely brilliant yet again. Just the video I needed to see.

By a mile the best on the tube simple drills and so easy to understand

Fantastic demonstration and videos to back it up! Love it!

Just found this and will try immediately! This is one of the best explanations and DEMONSTRATIONS I've seen! Thanks so much!

What a great lesson Mr. Bazalgette!! All your content is tops, but this lesson is truly a gem. TU!

Love the deer running through at 5:49 :)

i was doing this drill recently. Thanks Adam! always best.

You are one of a kind; the insidious details and the multiplicity of variables you offer in the presentation are unique, Thanks a million.

your tutorials are superb. Amongst the best online. This one in particular has plugged a major gap in my swing. Am closely solving the puzzle. Great tip and already my quality of strike has increased tenfold. Much more solid transfer of energy and has helped also with my tempo through focusing on the left hand more flush at impact!!

Great info. Appreciate the detailed instruction

Nice instruction, Sir! I've been hitting a lot of these little half-swing 'pop' shots and the feel and trajectory are real nice... Thanks, William

Great drill, Adam. You can really feel the Left hand "folding" under the right after impact. As always, you take the complexity out of the swing and make it easy. Thanks

Excellent! Those fairways look incredible!

Thank you for a detailed description of the club release. I will try the drill. Hope it helps my game which has fallen apart.

Looking sharp sir. Enjoy the golf season !

This guy is so good at explaining this stuff.

Hey thanks for this! Going to practice this at the range. Will help with the whip action of the club to get better distance. Thanks again! Bookmarking this one!

This video, and the drills it promotes, assisted me with keeping my arms connected to my torso. This prevents my two way misses, especially my pulled shots. Thank you.

Thank you for all your tips, I am a new subscriber. I will continue to follow you begin with releasing the golf club. Sonny

Great stuff Adam👍

Great info!!Thx

Great video lesson, Thanks! seeing how tiger releases that club at impact helps solidify it for me. been struggling with my cupped left wrist at impact and having a very high ball flight, and that bowed wrist knuckles down bit makes a lot of sense.

More excellent content, thank you Adam. This aspect of the swing was so elusive for me until I realized that my swing tempo was entirely too fast. When I significantly slowed down the takeaway and to the top of the backswing the release revealed itself. Your swing is so effortless. I've been trying to emulate it for quite some time. Thanks again Adam for another great instructional video.

Thank you for this video! Worked on this today at the range and hit the ball much better and avoided hitting the ball left much more consistently, much, much better.

Great video lesson, Thanks!

Excellent video as usual. Great explanation of various positions and good reminder to keep the arms and wrists loose and supple to get that snap while delofting the face.

Really simple and easy to understand. I've been playing for 30 years and never focussed on the release but it now makes complete sense why my contact is inconsistent. I'm off to the range !!

This is pretty much the exact thing I'm trying to work on right now, it's like you know! The drop 5 and solid strike videos have been great at well. I also appreciate the honesty about the hooked shot, from that camera angle you could just say they're all good and we would never know lol

Great video as always!

This is a great drill. I fell into the wrist/knuckles pitfall for months. I went to the golf range and everything flows now. Thank you.

Thank you well explained again!

Great video tips

Fantastic drill

Excellent. Thank you

Great Video, looking forward to working with you in November

I have been golfing for 50+ yrs, was a 2 hdcp at one point, now I'm a ~6. I've always generally been on the short side for golf length, relatively speaking, and that, as I've finally (re) discovered, is mainly from over tension / over control / lack of release. The "stop the arms" drill you show is a good start, but I would suggest to think of stopping the arms *before* impact, while allowing the soft-as-possible wrists / forearms / shoulders to release the club I.e about at the point where the arms are near the right hip. I worked on this at the range this summer, and I'm getting 30-50 yds more distance, compared to an "over controlled" "late release" Combined with *completely* relaxing the wrists, the focus is on *propelling* the forerams quickly and forcefully (via the body pivot / rotation) down towards the right hip, then (trying) to stop the arms near the right hip while allowing the wrists to unhinge. This is combined with a forceful weight transfer and body rotation. I.e. an efficient THROW (ing) motion Mike

Awesome vid .. thanks

I've long believed it was the language golf instructors use to keep us from getting better. Of course if we get better the lessons are over. This was great. It's like you said the quiet part out loud, and clearly. this is going to help a lot. I finally made that swoosh noise with my club.

Oh deer! Great drill!

Great great video and very easy to understand

Nice drill

Great tip thanks never had this explsined

Great video and very easy to understand

Gonna try this soon. Thanks

thanks for the great lesson! it works :)

Great explanation and drill

Thanks Adam.👍

This video is a lot better, I would say that you know the business. Sorry about leaving the previous message on your channel.. Stop is important. Let's talk. Dr. Ken To PGA GSEM

Cool Stuff!!!👍

Really helpful.

great video

Good lesson. I've been trying to crack the whip. Thanks.

Good lesson

I discovered this phenomenon many years ago. It's counter intuitive that you decelerate to increase club head speed. But this is exactly how to transfer the speed of the body, arms and hands into the shaft, and finally the club head. It just feels so natural to keep pulling with the arms, which is the habit I continually fall back into. Thank you for reminding me!

Perfect

Awesome Video ! This explains why I hit my best shots when I concentrate on keeping my left arm glued to my chest on the follow through.This obviously causes my left arm to decelerate because it is not allowed to fly off at the end of the swing. It produces and great release and balanced follow through. The ball effortlessly explodes off the club face in a very controlled straight ball flight.

I've learned to manufacture a pretty good golf game in the 2 years of playing. I think brute strength is what gets me by. But just realizing that letting that power stop and realease through impact without over dowing it is the key. When I hit wedge shots from 100 in is the best part of my game simply because it's harder to slice and my release is so much more noticeable. But this this video will have me hitting 200 balls tomorrow at the range. I've hit 320 yard drives when everything matches up but if I could learn this release I'd be bombing it every time. Thanks for this.

Thank you! My theory has been that arm/hand deceleration is a HUGE part of club head speed. Other people say to keep accelerating the hands, but that can't be right. From a physics perspective (conservation of momentum or energy), by generating momentum with the hands and then slowing them down, it would have to flow into the club head, so you would want to begin decelerating the hands just before impact by my theory. I was getting effortless power doing this, I'm going to bring that back into my swing. Thank you for confirming my theory!

Is this with every club in the bag? Thanks for the great instructions!! Love the videos.

Adam can you please comment on the difference between the drill in this video and your video on ‘flipping’?

I have that snap feeling when hitting a flop but man i struggle with normal shots! Gonna work on this ! Thanks for the advice!

Great description of release. I can see what I have not been doing.

The way of club releasing are totally depend on where you place the rotation centers of both arms. It's by nature to roll down the arm toward the earth before the arm reach the rotation center, then the arm start to goes upward. However, we only could change the way when they pass the center by releasing the club to make the club head runs away along the tangent line. Contemporary swing use the points arround the neck, (precisely, the inner side of scapula) as rotation center, the result is more consistent and powerful for closer centers and backside operation.

While you did mention keeping the wrists mobile, I think that point needs to be emphasized. In the book "The Physics of Golf" Theodore P. Jorgensen, he absolutely measured and confirmed that any *conscious* force applied to the wrists in the downswing, will only *slow* down the clubhead.

After over 30yrs of golf, I've finally figured the release out! Thanks to Adam, this video and a few of his older ones, I'm finally releasing correctly.....until I get to my longer clubs. My driver and 3w have gone to the dumps. I can't get the feeling on correct release with these clubs. Is there a different way to go about it? Btw, I've picked up at least 10yds on every iron. What a difference a proper release makes! It also corrected my slight over-the-top and I can now draw and fade irons at will. Ty Adam!

This is something I have only recently heard of and only from "teachers", never from tour players. I would love to see a quote or a video of a "tour player" saying he or she has the feeling of stopping the hands prior to impact. I use this method of stopping the hands when I want to hit a duck hook around a tree. Works great. The clubhead passes the hands almost immediately as the face abruptly closes, but I just can't time it well enough to use it on normal shots. I'm reminded of Hogan saying " you can't time such a devilish thing". For me, as a pure swinger, the release is not forced. It is part of the natural kinematic sequencing of each body component. This stopping of the hands just takes too much brain power for my coconut to handle, especially under pressure on a short pitch shot, over water, to a tight pin, with the green sloping away. I can feel that choke string tightening as I'm writing this..lol Not saying your method is not valid (it works for you obviously and you have a great swing). It's just too hard (for me) to time. Too labor intensive . But..... I will play with it at the range next time, just in case you found the holy grail with this method :)

Hi Adam, thanks for all your amazing content! Wow! ... The BEST! I'm down to a handicap of 5, within 3 years... 36+ to 5 ... I'm 45 years old... My son Teo likes your instructions too... He is down to 27 (from the front Yellow tees), and he is only 10 years old.... But we have a very long Links course.. He he played the heavily modified length US Kids Golf stuff, he would be around 5 like me... ! Thank-you again... From The Sands, Torquay, Australia.

Hi Adam, why do some people teach hands going low and left? I’ve always done what you are teaching here. Is that the new way with a bowed wrist ? Thanks

UPDATE - I got 4 birdies on 9 holes today, shot a 37 ! (par was 35, so +2). New personal best! This video was one of a few that really helped me fix my swing over winter. I had a lesson that really got it my head and ruined my backswing and everything in general. I had to work hard to fix my backswing and incorporate the change into my swing. I also changed the start of downswing and impact. Many changes going on late winter, for a period my swing was bad/broken. I put the pieces together over the past couple of months. This video helped greatly with the impact zone! (Again I should say, it helped me last year as well. I need to return to watch it every now and again)

I had tried the release of the wrists in the past, which really gave power to my swing but could not get any consistency...this video definitely sheds some light on how to do it correctly....btw did anyone notice the deer in the background?

Hi Adam great video as always 👍🏻. Was wondering if you do like a teaching camp at your academy. Thinking like a couple of weeks sort of golf camp thing. I live in Scotland and would travel

*This* is the lesson I've been searching for. I've been taught for years now to "hold off the face" and let pure body rotation square the club. I just can't make it work. I either block it a mile right, or, knowing I'm about to block it a mile right, make a last minute adjustment with my hands, often leading to a snap hook. This is gold right here.

Id like to try this, I've heard about keeping the wrist down and compressing the ball but not alongside this whip effect, I'm going to try it and see how it feels, clearly slowing down before hitting the ball feels a bit odd but you do demonstrate it well with the skipping stones or whipping towel effect

This is something I have struggled with and it just seems like I've never really zoned in on that compression like I know I'm capable of. I've always had good hand/eye coordination and have been fairly athletic and dexterous in my life. I hit good golf shots, but I know I'm capable of getting more out of it. I'll keep working on it.

Hey Adam, in your How to Stop Flipping video, you do the same abbreviated follow-through drill, except in that one your wrists don’t turn over and release the way they do in this video. Why the difference? Which version should I practice? Thanks.

Good stuff. How does it translate to fairway woods off the deck or driving the ball. Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I have a problem with this as I've spent 30 coming OTT, and if you do that and don't hold the clubface open a bit, you pull everything. Coming OTT and releasing properly would cause the dreaded pull-hook. Now I don't come OTT quite as badly, but I'm finding I hit a few pushes (coming from the inside with an open face)

Many thanks. Never been taught this before, but how do you avoid flipping? I have been working hard to stabilise the club face at impact, as I have been guilty of flipping in the past. Grateful for a tip on how to avoid the flip, but still get the acceleration you promote.

Well....you found my problem with my irons. I hit high and short. Now I need to learn how to incorporate this change.

So for pitching, do we use the same bowed release motion, but with less backswing?

When your video gets interrupted by a video commercial of you promoting your videos-lol

Hi Adam, I tried this at the range today and it worked great with the shorter clubs! Lower ball flight and a consistent slight draw that I didn't try to manufacture. Is it a similar feel with all clubs? With the longer clubs I felt like I wanted more height.

I've heard in other videos of urs about the bowing of the wrist, is this something also done with fairway woods and the driver. I have tried it before with mixed results, is it very much a deliberate move/technique? I'm really interested in getting good at that... great video as usual

Thank you Adam! Do you mentally snap your wrist at contact, or left the swing unfold so your square at impact! I don’t know , but would like your opinion please.

One time I released my club half way across the range

I'm a right hand golfer. I miss two fingers on my left hand ( the Little one and the one beside). They are real important because they hang the golf club. Do you have an advise regarding your video.

I know the set up and swing is different, but is there the same general idea with the whip on a driver?
