If you stop the slow motion downswing when the left hand is over the ball, the club is still nearly horizontal to, or parallel to, the ground. The full release happens with the hands ahead of the ball. In other words the swing is the standard pro swing with lag and late release which is providing the power and distance to the shot. Why advise players to do contrary to your own, presumably well developed, swing?
may want to try letting your shoulders turn thru whole down swing - to take the "lead" from your hands and put it where it belongs - in your overall body pivot with the club swinging like rope off your body. (see how his [and all pros] swing is pendulum like)... Sergio Garcia has the most lag and his arms swing more free (like rope) then anybody. He does this by pivoting the hell out of his body...
The body reacts to the release of the club - so release when ever u want. The hammer has to get to the nail head - but to get it there you need to swing it freely..all good things happen from there. You stiffen up and try to manipulate the angles (wrists) and you kill the natural order of things...Try messing with the wrist cock/lag with a whip - it instantly slows down unless you free wheel it and let the whip react to a fluid body movement.
wow. this is why you need to really evaulate who you pay for advice. This is a lazy old school player who probably plays 220 yards down the middle of the fairway all day and believes that makes him great. That 220 is probably form the white tee's. he needs to learn more
Ok casting is good people have really been mislead with this.... Lag makes you come too steep into the ball and be incosistent plus its an incosistent move which just adds to make your swing more complicated which is what you need if u just make a big turn cast it from the top and straighten ure left leg through impact u will hit it a lot further and a lot lot straighter
i don't think he knows that he was holding it till last minute to release for impact !! But on the other hand, he tells us to release it as early as we want???? He should see his own slow motion swing....

Suprised Kostis has his name on this. This definitely goes to show you that for the teacher, feel is not real.

For someone who isn't overdoing the wrist lag, this advice is just horrible. His swing, very obviously, has a good amount of lag.
