  • Josh Zander, I congratulate you on these excellent video presentations!

  • @TheNYgolfer You should inform Dustin Johnson of that.He`s totally bowed at the top.Regarding the rolling of the hands, whenever you start releasing the club, the head gain speed but the body is slowing down.With the second option you`re keeping the right elbow and right wrist angle intact until late into the swing. So the body is keeping its acceleration and speed. So you can deliver a lot energy. So I would say that you`ll be more powerfull with the second option with a more compressed ball.

  • I was really struggling with my game last summer and I just couldnt figure out why because i knew I had a good golf swing as i'd seen in on video and I was making the appropriate shoulder turn, hip turn etc. Just for fun one day I tried taking the club face back a little more shut because i was always missing it right. This caused me to bow my wrist and I began hitting it great. I went from shooting 100 to low 80 in a matter of one golf swing.

  • @granty1954 .. line 3 .. THAT IS MEANT TO READ 'THE HIT IS SO MUCH PURER'

  • @TheNYgolfer I actually find the 'stable release' has increased my distance NOT shortened it. I now feel a lot more compression into the ball and the actually hit is not much purer. Previously the rolling was ok but so timing intensive it varied from day-to-day and shot-to-shot. I play off 11h/c and can honestly say the the Stable release is the way forward for me with irons now half a club longer at the vary least and my driving is much improved too.

  • Nice video Josh. Does one release work better for a specific type of swing (one plane vs. two plane)?

  • @chm97chm97 once mastered the "stable release" requires less skill because the timing factor involved in a roll release is eliminated. It is much easier to work the ball in as stable release. The disadvantage is a loss in distance since the rolling action of a roll release actually adds power (#3 accumulator per The Golfing machine). So do you want accuracy or do you want distance? It's a trade off. Do you prefer a 300 yard drive that is 30 yards in the woods or a 260 yard drive in the fairway?

  • @swish1onu watch videos of Ben Hogan. The bow is very obvious

  • does this release work for both the irons and the driver?

  • watched numerous videos on youtube featuring Sergio Garcia... I dont see the bowed .. stable release in his swing as you mentioned... I think it would be nice to actually see this bowed .. stable release in a video with both realtime and slow mo... it would help greatly... thanks !
