  1. “5 minutes to the perfect release” ??? The title should read waste 5
    minutes of your life listening to clay drone on endlessly about back of
    lead hand relating to club face angle. Plus watch video of rory from a bad
    camera angle which barely even shows his release or hand position.
    Seriously…this video is helping no one.?

  2. $2000 para el mueble que era anoche vendido de tener digamos doble por qué
    Pirotécnicos rápido de una vez un tiroteo en un par de ti parece haber
    aclarado gratis Internet increíble película de Chicago me pareció ver uno

  3. Its actually the right hand, the left wrist rarely cups or bows on its own,
    its the right hand, remember on the grip you hold on with both hands, so if
    u flip with the right which most amatuers do it wil cup the left, youl hav
    better luck talking about the right wrist cause its more dominant?

  4. Everyone employs some left wrist rotation (supination) through impact on
    normal full swings. Some employ a lot, some much less. All depends on how
    much bowing and body rotation you use in conjunction. ?

  5. Clay, I have a bad habit of flipping my wrist up. I have since started the
    9 to 3 drill with my left hand and it seems to be helping. However in high
    speed video you can still see me flipping my wrists pretty badly. Should I
    exaggerate bowing my wrist through impact until it is gone??

  6. I would say rory has a strongish grip and that logo is pointing on a vector
    more at the camera than to the target.?

  7. Just love the description… Now nobody can stop me to become a golf
    champion after watching this video. LOL
    Thank you ?

  8. Great video! I’ve watched the “perfect release drill” and it’s really good.
    However I have a very strong right hand grip, should I feel like holding
    the release longer due to this or should I really feel like my left hand is
    turning thru impact? Also I have a hard time holding my left arm straight
    thru impact, is this due to my strong right hand grip? Hope you
    understand! ?

  9. i hit nearly 300 balls every day i can. i have gone many days hitting 500.
    but you do have a point. lee trevino used to hit balls all day long, as did
    sam snead

  10. You are absolutely correct. you do need a certain amount of clubhead speed
    to hit the ball 170 yards. But if you are flipping the club and adding
    loft, that 90 mph swing speed will only produce 150 yards of distance. This
    is even more important if you have lower swing speed. If you only swing 70
    mph and are adding loft to the club, the ball will travel very short. We
    also have videos to help improve clubhead speed if you are interested. Good
    luck with your game! -Clay Ballard

  11. that makes a whole lotta sense. I recently change to a strong grip for
    chipping and pitching and tried it with my irons and I like the distance I
    get but if I don’t pay attention to clubface control, I pull it alot. Think
    I am going to stick with the neutral grip for full shots. But if the shanks
    come back again I am going back to the stronger grip.

  12. I may do that in the future. If you have a stronger grip it will cause you
    to hold off your release slightly or you will hook the ball. A weaker grip
    can actually get you more speed once you learn how to release the club
    properly. ~Clay Ballard

  13. With the proper practice, you can learn to control the club very well with
    your hands. We have a 9 days to ball striking series on the site which goes
    over controlling ball flight. I have had many high handicap students work
    through these drills in a short period off time and were able to hit both a
    fade and a draw at will and begin to control trajectory as well. Anyone can
    do these moves once they understand what they need to focus on. Good luck
    with your game! ~Clay Ballard

  14. We actually talk about it a lot on the site. There is really no such thing
    as centrifugal force in reality. It is merely a byproduct of centripetal
    force, which is toward center. Centrifugal force would be away from center.

  15. I used to work at a large range where there were several players who would
    come in year after year, day after day, and hit over 300 golf balls every
    day. Most of them were 15+ Handicappers and never improved. Practice makes
    permanent. If you want to get better, you must practice the correct
    movements. Otherwise you are just making bad habits permanent. Good luck
    everyone, I wish you all the best! You all have the talent to improve.

  16. Do you recommend developing that ‘bowing’ the hand to create that
    ‘de-lofting’ you mentioned to get more distance?

  17. NOW I know why pro golfers can hit an 8 iron 170 yards…thanks for the
    outstanding lesson Clay.

  18. I play off 14 now, but my putting and tight-lie short game is my downfall.
    I hit my PW-9iron as far as most men hit their 8 iron (160 yards and now I
    know why! Now to practise my putting haha
