Why You Need This: If you're struggling with a golf swing early release, then you absolutely need my "Stop Your Early Release Drill."

You'll get three huge benefits from this drill:

• tons more forward shaft lean
• an end to your frustrating flipping / casting / losing lag
• powerful, solid ball striking

One of the most common things that I see in the golf swing are players that tend to bump the hips too far forward and then stand up out of the shot.

If you're doing this YOU HAVE TO FLIP in order to hit the ball solid.

Enough is enough!

Hi guys, welcome back. Do you feel like you struggle getting the proper forward shaft lean and release in your golf swing? Do you feel like as you’re coming through the golf shot, you tend to flip the club, you can’t really get that down and through contact like you see with the pros?

Those nice shallow divots every time. You tend to pick the ball off the ground and don’t really feel comfortable unless your ball has a little bit of grass, or it’s kind of fluffed up in the turf?

Well this is a great video for you. I’m going to teach you the proper techniques, so even if you get a ball on those bare lies, you’re going to be able to hit it dead solid every single time.

We’re going to work on a great drill that anybody can do, and you could even do this in your yard if you don’t have access to a golf course all the time. Then we’ll take it out and hit some balls on the range too.

So first off, let’s talk about where the flip, the early release, the standing up out of the shot comes from.

Most of the time when I see this, a player is setting up to the golf ball, and instead of the hips rotating out of the way, getting some forward shaft lean, and then coming down and through that shot.

What’ll happen a lot of times is the hips will bump forward instead of rotating, and then to make room to hit the ball – because my hips are kind of in my way here – I’m going to stand up and I’m going to flip with my wrist to try to hit that ball.

So I’m going to bump and then I flip with my wrists a little bit. I could also do the opposite of that, which would be stay back on my right foot, pivot, and then then flip to be able to reach the ball there.

So either way, I’m starting with bad hip movements, and then I’m compensating with my hands working differently through contact.

What I’d like for you to do is go ahead and set up at contact, and I want you to really work on the compression line like we talk about in the Top Speed Golf System.

So as I’m coming down through this ball, I’m going to simulate where I’d be at contact. I want my hips to be about 45 open, and I want my left ankle, my left hip, and my left shoulder to all be in a nice, straight line.

What that does, is that gets me in a position where I can hit down and through this ball and release my hands out in front of the golf ball. So I’m getting that nice shallow divot that comes down to the ball then accelerates down and through in front of the golf ball.

So that’s what I want you to do first, is go ahead and simulate where you would be at contact with this ball. I’m going to clear my hips out of the way, and I’m going to have this nice straight line so that now I’m in a position to where I can have forward shaft lean and release in front.

Now once we’ve done that, let’s go ahead and go ahead and grab a couple extra tees. What we’re going to do with these tees, I have one tee under a ball that I’m going to simulate hitting. I’ll have it about a half inch off the ground.

I’m going to put another tee a couple inches in front of it, another one a few inches in front of that, and then a slightly higher tee about an inch off the ground in front of that. So I am going to try to hit all four of these tees, and I want to make sure that I’m having forward shaft lean but releasing that as I’m coming through.

This is my ball, so I don’t want you to set up like this and cheat so you can get all four. We’re going to set up like this is my ball off the left ear, or the logo of my shirt.

As I come into contact, I’m going to be in a good spot with good forward shaft lean. Hips are in a good position, now I’ve got plenty of room for my hands to release out in front and to clip those front tees.

So you’ve seen that my wrists are actually releasing, just like we talk about in the system to get in the straight line release. That allows me to clip all four of these. I’ll go ahead and stick this one in the ground again.

Now you’ll see as I make a practice swing, I should be able to get all four of these out of the ground, no problem, and I’m not even going to take that big of a divot.

There we go, knocked all four of them over. Fourth one popped out of there, these three are knocked over. That’s going to allow you to come down and through.

So go ahead and practice that, you know a good 50 to 100 times clipping those tees every time, and then we’ll go ahead, we’ll set this ball down, and I’m going to visualize those same four tees in front as I’m making a swing.

Prior to the swing, good contact, feeling that extension down and through. Then I’m going to set up to the ball, do the exact same thing. There we go, nice solid shot, right down the middle.

Good luck to you guys, work on that extension through there. Get your hips moving right, it’s going to be that much easier. I’ll see you guys very soon.
