Golf Swing Lessons, Tips & Instruction - Releasing the Club Head

I agree. A good swing will always produce a good release. Halfway down achieve a good shaft angle. At impact: back of lead hand square to the target with lead hand "knucks-down". Left side pulling out of the way so that the right side can contribute. Trying to control/time the clubhead directly will only throw off your overall timing and body positions.

Too true.

Exactly. Another web over-simplification of a fairly complex maneuver. Other flaws could be:
Bad shaft angle halfway down. Aggressively turning the hips too early. Failure to aggressively turn through the hit. Lead-hand knuckles not pointing down at impact, etc., etc., etc.

I've been playing for a little over a year...I tend to pull my irons but push or slice my driver and woods. Is this a common problem?

Have you been custom fit for your clubs? If you are pulling your irons, they might be a little bit too upright. Scroll through our channel...we've got several videos about pulls and slices that may be useful for you.

I have not... I have my eyes on a set of AP1 Titelist irons. The videos are helpful but I am afraid I already have some bad habits to break :)

If you decide to get the AP1s, have the lie angles bent to fit your swing. It won't cost much (some places even throw it in as part of the purchase), but it's very worthwhile...it's kind of like getting the right size shoe because not everyone fits in to the average size (which is how clubs are built). Tiger actually has his irons bent up 1 degree.

ahhh good stuff.. this is exactly my problem.. 1000000 thanks
