    I wish more instructors would talk about how there are two different swings because I fell into the trap of trying to implement elements of the modern swing into my traditional swing and it really messed up my swing. Once I learned I was a traditional swing, I stopped worrying about body rotation and just swung however felt natural and shot even par on 9 holes (I’m a 6.7 index so not out of reach but not the norm for me).

      Pros are definitely body release

      I've been watching all these videos about using the full body. A few days ago on the range, a guy a bit older than me asked if he could make some suggestions. I was all ears. (He was hitting quite nicely!!!). He suggested my hand-eye coordination was looking great, and suggested I think more arms and less full body. I've also heard people talk about "new swing vs old swing". I'm starting to get it.
      On the days when I just "loosen up", I hit much better. I suspect that's when I'm more "arm release" and less "full body release". This guy at the course was explaining that we're not all pros / don't have the bodies pros have, etc. It made a ton of sense. I then proceeded to watch him drive some balls into the stratosphere.
      I'll be thinking more "arm release" in the near future. I suppose this makes my more natural approach more old school...
      (Note, I'm 48 years old, swung my first club in my life at 47... I would very likely try to tend toward a full body release if I was 25!)

      I believe you can use your hands without excessive rolling its not such an either or thing. Like a baseball hitter uses his body and arms to deliver his wrists cocked in front of him. Try using your hands to hit a ball and do it in a wide variety of address positions like in the middle of your stance, behind your front foot, even or even ahead of your front foot. think of the body and arms delivering your wrists, hands and club to the point where you can hit the ball with your hands, your hands have the most nerve receptors to feel where the club is swinging in space thru the ball. Your wrists can create more speed than your body without necessarily flipping or turning your forearms. Your wrists and forearms will naturally turn over after you release the club.

    Your videos are so simple, so intuitive, so on point, I love them. The thought that resonates in my mind is: control the low point, control the path and control the club face. Those 3 things are truly all that matters in developing a good golf swing. Thank you for the time and effort it takes to make us all better golfers.

    this video and lesson really really helped me and was my 'lightbulb' moment. I was taught the hand release (in the 90s as a kid), but I didnt really know that. Ive struggled as a 15-18 handicapper for nearly 20 years. And this year, with some coaching, I've made my backswing deeper and that was the first major improvement. I still wasnt always getting the contact and compression I wanted and I just didnt 'get it'. After seeing this video and immediately going to the driving range, I think I now 'get it'. Thanks so much for your help and knowledge. It is MUCH appreciated!!

    This video was tremendously helpful to me. It's my second year playing golf and my first year I shot over 100 every round. I put in a lot of effort and practice this year and by July I was consistently scoring in the 80s with my best being an 82 along with several right around there. In September something terrible happened to my swing and I started slicing the ball and making poor contact like I did my first year. My last two rounds were back over 100 and I think I spent more time looking for my balls in the woods than actually playing golf. I have been so frustrated that I considered hanging it up for the year and trying again next spring. After watching this video I tried the drill and am now hitting it straight and drawing again. I'm very pleased with the quality of instruction here and the results speak for themselves. I had gotten a tip from another golfer to turn my lead shoulder during the backswing which is all good and well, but when I started doing that I unconsciously stopped turning my hips leading to an outside in swing and thus the slicing the ball. The hip turn is absolutely crucial. Besides allowing a passive squaring of the club face, it pulls the club inside on the backswing so your swing path naturally becomes inside to out, producing beautiful straight and drawn ball flight. The third thing I noticed about bringing the hip turn back into my swing was the easy power it provides. I didn't have to swing fast or hard at all to get desirable distance. Love it! Thank you for helping me get my enthusiasm for golf back.

    @Cadams7 Před rokem

    Really good summary here. I've been playing for a long time and have gotten really locked into an overswing with an over-hinged, cocked left wrist at the top and a big flip through the ball. My distance is good and I don't think I add loft, but my dispersion has been so bad for so long. I've tried to get the wrists out of the swing and shorten my backswing for a while now. This video and drill seems really accurately targeted at my issue and I think this will help me a lot. Thanks again.

  • @davidgovan9533

    Good video. This is a topic not many Pro's discuss. I think it is very important to inform the average golfer that there are many different swings happening on golf courses, and on tour, and each has its own set of unique components. Which is why most golfers are confused about what to do to improve their golf swing. I applaud you for bringing this to their attention.
    I am a PGA member in Canada and have played most of my life as a hand release player, which, as you stated, requires excellent timing. I now mostly play as a body release player since it is more accurate and requires much less practice because timing is not a major factor in that swing. That said, the hand release swing is very good and very easy at creating club speed and ball distance, because the arms move independent of the body, and the arms can move much faster than the big muscles of the body. Like you, I teach numerous different golf swings, all depending on what the students talents are, and their physical ability. I am curious though, have you measured your club head speed on a launch monitor comparing both releases using the same club? I would like to see a video of that.
    Thanks for the great video, and keep up the good work.

  • @ryanfelton8636
    @ryanfelton8636 Před 3 lety +6

    It’s worth noting that keeping a passive hand release through impact simply just moves your hand turn over release later in your follow through. I really like this because it’s so much easier to predict where your club face is at impact and you get that pure iron strike way more often.

    • @mdallas
      @mdallas Před rokem +3

      totally agree. at some point through centrifugal force and the weight of the club head it will release and pass your hand at least a little. I am 52 and was taught the hand release golf swing but have had good and bad days with shot direction. I think this is a big step in the right direction for consistent control of the face through impact but I think it's 80% this and 20% controlling the release with small muscles in forearms and wrists that are crucial to the swing. just use the little release component in the right place right before impact and after. Great video with sound distinction with the old vs the new school.

Then this video pop up on my recommended videos I don't know how but God must of want me to see this.

The body release already looks like not nearly enough face rotation IMO. I went to a slightly stronger grip this year and it fixed it. Excited to actually watch this.

    Excellent video. I had recently watched a video on improving wedge play, illustrated by Trevino. He was suggesting that , when you take the club back, you should lift the club, rather than cock it, since you will maintain the same loft that you started with, and get better accuracy; pointed out that is how Steve Stricker plays, with no wrist cock, just a slight rotation of the shoulders. I found this video excellent re: the hand vs body rotation release. My accuracy really improved , with my short game, by not cocking my wrist, but rather lifting the club

  • @westernkeep99
    @westernkeep99 Před 2 lety

    Thanks this is just the drill I need to help with my push slice, plus making sure my club toe angle matches my spine angle at the 9'Oclock position in the back swing rather than be at 90 degrees. The only thing I would quibble with is your history, body release has been around for a long time, for example as explained in books like: The Golfing Machine by Homer Kelly (1979), The Natural Golf Swing by George Knudson (1988), and the Golf Swing by David Leadbetter (1990). These ideas were put into print at least a decade or more after the authors started practicing them. In particular Sir Nick Faldo who used Leadbetter's body release from the mid-1980s to 1998.

    I realized that I’m hand release golfer after learning there are two different swing styles. I’ve always been good at touch and timing with sports in general so I’m def sticking with the old school release. Before I even knew there were two different styles, I was struggling because I’d try to implement pieces of the modern swing and it would screw me up.

      It's not illegal? Seems like the move would be akin to a balk in baseball and the move would be outlawed because of just how effective it is. Can you check on this ove got a tournament coming up and I don't want to be performing an illegal move in the golf swing that could very well empower me to shoot in the 60s only for me to later get disqualified because I broke a swing rule. The USGA frowns on low numbers and I don't want to give them any excuses to come round looking to discredit my swing AND score because of this preset swing tactic. Thanks 🙏

Enjoying it but when i started up i tried to swing the old way of flipping the hands and tore the left Rhomboid.(coming over the top and hitting the ground hard) Then discovered "set up at impact" and it made a big difference rotating the body BUT getting the club face square is a huge challenge!

    New golfer here at age 53, about 6 months now.
    Been experimenting with both methods, the “body rotation” is what I started with but my carry distances are awful.. I’ve been trying the “hand release” but, as you’ve stated, have much less accuracy.
    I’ve always been fit and fairly strong, but I can’t find a way to get any distance with the body release.
    I’ll keep trying, but it’s disappointing so far.
    Beautifully explained in the video by the way!!

    Thanks Jonathon. Your channel popped up on my front page in a timely fashion. I did a Mizuno fitting last week and the guy who was no more than 30 was trying to tell me to hand flip through the impact, I understand to give more speed but it goes to show how ingrained this approach is in teachers. Tom Saguto got me onto S&T which has been good except he doesn't go into rotation much. That is where I'm blocked, my brain just does not connect itself to my left hip. I did your rotation impact drill today with good results, not a difficult position so there's hope that I can actually get there in a full swing!

      If you watch Saguto’s swing he VERY much does what this guy is advocating - especially through contact where Tom has no wrist flip. I suspect Tom has addressed this issue in numerous vids but I haven’t watched many of his vids. The guy has a damn good swing. I’m not a S&T guy because I was a very good junior golfer, am now 50 and was taught a very different swing. None the less I respect Tom’s swing highly.

This is the first very well explained lesson on this subject and I believe this will help myI blocking my drives to the right. Thanks for this one. Keep up the great work!

      @@jchowngolf Well I worked on your lesson today on my Simulator and played Jupiter Ridge, a course in BC, Canada. I could not believe my eyes.. everything fell in place.. Shot 2 over par. 5 birds and 7 pars.. never , ever happened yet. I’ve just turned the golden age and never felt I could create the separation using the “new” body release as I’ve always used the upper body for my swing release. I worked your lesson on Skytrak for an hour and then played the course. I’m too overjoyed to even say more. Just can’t say enough thanks mate. Thanks again, looking forward to your next. Happy season!

      I was told by my coach when I first started to try and shake hands with the target, Is this the old school method?
      Also what is a good swing thought at the top of the backswing to get into this impact position?

    • @quantumpotential7639
      @quantumpotential7639 Před rokem

      This might be an illegal move inside the golf swing as determined by the USGA. I have asked Mr JCHown here to look into the matter.. No one here wants to get DQ'd regardless if it's the US OPEN or your local YMCA scramble tournament and because of just how easy this makes the game now it's put a big target on the backs of anyone who become an avid practitioner of the preset posture. Keep praying maybe it's not illegal we'll have to see how the USGA in Farhills, NJ rules on this swing. Thankz

  • @danb.2605
    @danb.2605 Před 3 lety +2

    I finally successfully executed this swing today on the range. It was so much fun seeing the balls fly high and long. Once you got it down, it translates easily to the long irons.

      I wanna have fun hitting balls too. I wanna see them soar through the sky and land right next to the pin providing me lots of birdies and eagles. However, this might be considered an illegal swing by the USGA because of just how powerful and easy it makes the game now. So I asked the pro here to look into as I want to remain in compliance with the swing rules as governed by the USGA and not be labeled a cheater. Thanks 🙏

  • @KDSumner
    @KDSumner Před rokem

    I've been using the hand-release method as that's how I was taught in my lessons and to be honest it has been good for getting that distance, although consistency is the thing that makes it hard on a bad day.
    I think this body release method looks interesting and I'm going to give that a go and see if that gives me more consistency in my direction, I assume this also applies to hitting driver and that's the one I struggle with the most when using a hand release timing method and the direction that the ball takes once struck.
    There is a chance I may be mixing the two techniques a little by accident, I will test this out next time I'm out on the range.
    Thanks for the video!

    • @jchowngolf
      @jchowngolf  Před 3 lety +8

      It’s a hard move to change. It took me a long time personally. If your body is the main driver behind the swing, it will become a lot easier 👍🏼

    • @MarkHaleyiDimension
      @MarkHaleyiDimension Před 3 lety +6

      agreed, got 20 years of wrist roll but I found as we get older speed really drops off and we slow down even more to square up the face to hit straight shots. Biggest thing is the pull hooks trying to implement body rotation when hands resort to old habits.

    • @matthewpavisa3007
      @matthewpavisa3007 Před 3 lety +2

      Key word is FEEL.

    • @patrickhobart4055
      @patrickhobart4055 Před 2 lety +6

      Hardest thing ever. My friends and I have been working on this forever and none of us have been able to get it. I recently gave up because it was just frustrating me. How many videos can one person take where you swear you did it and then you watch it back it looks exactly like the original swing? It’s torture. And I have a full golf studio setup in my garage. Obviously, I haven’t completely given up if I’m still watching these videos but man is it frustrating.

    • @djpoints
      @djpoints Před 9 měsíci

      The key for me to do the body release is all in the takeaway as JC showed. As long as I keep the takeaway at my spine angle to the top I naturally don't have any urge to roll the release, bc like JC showed this will cause a ridiculous hook. Incidentally i think this is why so the preshot takeaway routine seems much more common nowadays among pros. Don't really recall seeing nearly as much of that in the 80s and 90s. Lastly, once you get good at the body release you can get a little more handsy with the release. Body release provides solid foundation to build upon.

  • @quarryryde
    @quarryryde Před rokem

    Excellent video. I am getting instructed by my current pro who is telling me to do that exact hand release to fix my occassional slices citing Lydia Ko as an example.
    My good swing is a slight over the top with slight fade that travels far with good amount of backspin. With more body release than hand release as I hold my wrists firm through impact. I lost my swing for couple of years trying to generate extra speed with hand release before.
    I am taking lessons to increase my consistency and even before watching this video I felt unease that maybe my consistency will decrease following this hand release instruction. Looks like I won't be following through with this lessons.

  • @shumandy301
    @shumandy301 Před 3 lety +1

    I remember in the old days some golf instructions went as far as saying you cannot hit the ball straight except by chance but can only draw or fade it because of the hand release teaching.

    Love your videos bud! Can you comment on the difference between club path and swing path? My understanding is that club path is where in the swing arc the ball is contacted and swing path is the overall direction of the that swing arc. I hear these terms used interchangeably by different teachers a lot and I just want to make sure I got them right. I think it’s important to understand that difference to get to what we’re trying to achieve.

    This video has helped me a lot. I'm 60 years old with VG mobility and rotation ability. I was rotating and turning the hands over, and everything was going left. This tip goes against everything that I've ever learned, but works wonderfully! Much better control of the club face, I will be practicing this every day. So, would you say that essentially, the hands don't turn over until well past impact?

    • @jchowngolf
      @jchowngolf  Před 3 lety

      Awesome to hear David! Absolutely the toe will naturally slightly pass over at around shaft parallel to the ground post impact. Love hearing you journey. I’ll be sharing my journey on how I went from a hand oriented swing to a rotational swing next week 👍🏼 Stay tuned

    • @quantumpotential7639
      @quantumpotential7639 Před rokem

      It could be a totally illegal swing drill and maneuver and thus subjecting you to being DQ'd in any tournament, large or small if you are guilty of breaking the USGA's rules of the swingnas depicted in the Rules of Golf.

    J, old school weak left hand grip flipper, scratch golfer but hate the look of the "flip" cause that's all i have to hit it, stall and flip is not a great way to swing the club (anymore). Taught to flip to square the face but too many good days followed by bad days. Time for a change. Thanks for the video.
