Easy Golf Swing Release Tips For Solid Contact And Consistent Golf Shots

By: The Golf Swing Genius

The golf swing release can by a mystifying thing for some golfers. The problem I see most golfers struggle with is releasing the golf club too early in the downswing. This can lead to inconsistent ball striking and cause fat or thin shots as well as shots that go to the left. Keep reading for more golf release tips and build more golf swing power and consistency.

An early release in the golf swing will cause problems at impact which is the most important part of the whole golf swing, the moment your are actually hitting the golf ball. When the club is released too early, the club head approaches the ball before the hands come through even with the ball. Leading with the hands slightly ahead at impact is important so you can strike down on the ball and the loft of the club will make it go up in the air.

Some amateur golfers will fall into the trap of trying to lift, scoop, or help the golf ball up into the air. This is unnecessary and leads to the opposite, you'll actually have more trouble getting the ball up the more you are consciously trying to do so. There is angle or loft on the club face which is what will get the ball launched up in the air.

Getting too wristy or handsy in the downswing causes the club to release early thus leading to a loss of power through impact. The correct release of the golf swing will naturally occur without having to consciously think about it. As long as you are maintaining your wrist set from the backswing as long as possible on the downswing you'll be able to hit the ball well.

To finish your swing, you simply swing your club head towards your target and then over your left shoulder. You follow the golf club by turing and finishing your weight transfer all the way to your front foot so your body is facing the target.

A good golf swing release will allow for solid contact with the golf ball more consistently. It will also be easier to generate more power because of being able to compress the golf ball correctly at impact.
