SignUp Now!I believe it refers to when you release your wrist cock. If you watch the famous Tiger swing that Nike has you will see that he maintains a 90* angle between his shaft and right wrist until the very last moment. I had a similar problem and what it boiled down to was that because I released too early I was loosing valuable clubhead speed and more importantly acceleration through the ball. If you release too early it is impossible to accelerate through the ball. To work on it I just took video of myself in the living room and first worked on taking the club back to teh 1/2 way point, looking to ensure the 90* angle was there, and then swinging. I gradually increased the backswing until it felt natural. I'm sure there is a better way but I've been pleased with the results. Although I could still improve on this very thing. Good Luck.
Early release most likely means you are hooking the ball. This is not for sure but it could also relate to several other issues like loss of yardage, pulls, and a possibly even more problems.
First off how does the clubmaker know you have an early release?
Those are exactly the things I have had trouble with. I tend to hook and pull the ball and I don't think I am getting the swing speed that I should.
He had me hold the club upside down right under the head and swing that way. He said you could here the swoosh at the back of my swing rather than where the ball would be.
This is a good drill that Jim Mclean has used for years.Those are exactly the things I have had trouble with. I tend to hook and pull the ball and I don't think I am getting the swing speed that I should.
