Tension in the hands makes releasing the club much more difficult.

If you turn off your arms and just swing with your shoulders the club has no choice but to release.
I know that the less I try to "turn my hands over" the better my release is. For me, grip pressure is key: If I hold the club properly and keep tension out of my arms, the release follows naturally (as long as I keep my body turning through the ball.)
