Why You Need This: In this video, "How to Release the Golf Club (3D MySwing Drill)...

You'll get an interesting look at the biomechanics of the golf release.

I strap on a bunch of sensors to capture a 3D look at how my body moves.

What's really cool is that the MySwing software produces an overhead view of the swing.

That's a view that's really difficult to see with standard video capture.

Here's the bottom line...

This analysis offers an in-depth look at the golf swing that you can't get with standard video.

You'll see...

• How lag angle is created in the downswing,
• How your hips rotate into the release, and
• How your shoulders rotate through contact.

MySwing 3D is unbelievable technology to measure the angles created in the swing...

And this video will show you how to achieve a pro-like release.

You'll learn how to swing through the golf ball like it's just getting in the way.

Watch now to see the golf swing release in 3D!

Hey guys, I’m back again with my 3D body motion capturing device called the MySwing. You know how much I like this biomechanics-type stuff. I think it’s just a great way to practice your swing.

Today we’re going to take a look at the straight-line release. In the Top Speed Golf System, we talk about how we want to build a lot of lag, kind of halfway in the downswing, get a pretty sharp angle there.

We go over that in The Move section and The Lag section of the Top Speed Golf System, that’s really going to help you get that sharp angle.

Now we’ve got to let that go. We go into the straight-line release, and we talk about just after impact. My hips, my shoulders, and my club will all be kind of pointing that 45° in front, or roughly 45°.

A little bit earlier, a little bit later than that, that’s fine. What we’re really looking for is to make sure that halfway down I have a lot of lag, my shoulders are back and my hips are starting to open.

Then my shoulders catch up to my hips past impact. Now the ball just gets in the way. If I can do that, and if I’m swinging through the ball, everything’s kind of lining up up here, then I’m going to be able to be really consistent.

Again, that ball’s just kind of getting in the way of me swinging the club and releasing it out in front of the golf ball. So what I’m going to do, I’m going to go ahead and capture one of these swings.

We’ll go ahead and take a look at it on my swing from the overhead view, which is something that we don’t have the ability to do on camera, and we’re going to see when all three of these catch up and line up together in the straight-line release.

So let’s go ahead and give it a try, see how I do. All right guys, let’s take a look.

Here we are in the playback from MySwing, and I can scroll through here and we’ll see that this is marking the angle of my hips or my pelvis, and this is marking the angle of my shoulders.

You see that right now they’re not, both of those are pretty square. We’re going to look at this once from face on like you’d see from a normal camera view. Then we’re going to look once from overhead.

I’m looking at when I come down to contact and just past contact, I’ll see I’ve got a nice angle of lag here. Now I’m going to let that go to the straight-line release.

So the straight-line release is kind of when that club very first splits the forearms. Right around in here somewhere in that general area.

Now if I look from the overhead view, now we can see that right around that area, that’s when my shoulders, my hips, and my club are all kind of pointing in the same direction.

You can see right there, I’ll try to pause this as close as I can to where we want to be. Now we can see they’re all going the same direction.

Look at my hips here, my shoulders, and my club. Everything is releasing on out in front. That allows me to get to that straight-line release, release all that energy, and then again like I said, the golf ball just gets in the way.

If we’re trying to hit at the golf ball at impact, things are very difficult. If we’re swinging through the golf ball to the straight-line release, things get a lot more simple.
