How to Release the Golf Club for Maximum Power
Mike Austin set the Guinness Record of 515 yards on a drive in the 1974 National Senior Open. His prodigious clubhead speed was not completely due to size and strength, but instead his technique to release the clubhead.

Let’s just pretend that everyone sets the club well to the top of the swing. After the club is set, it must start down. I like to call that move the transition into the downswing.
Their are a few important things that must happen when you start your transition. These basic downswing drills will help you understand how the club moves at the bottom.

Our guest is one of our all-time favorite golf instructors who actually specializes in eliminating the yips.
According to Jim, there are three contributing factors to the yips. Mental. Emotional. Physical (mechanics). “By definition, the yips (flinching) are unconscious. No one tries to get the yips.”
How To Stop Rushing The Downswing And Start Hitting It Solid Shots!
When we’re talking about rushing the downswing, we need to separate body segments.
Golfers who rush the downswing are moving their arms and hands down too fast, but not necessarily their lower body.
So, you don’t need to slow everything down to stop rushing the downswing.
In this video I’m giving you two feels/drills to learn how to get the downswing started with your body motion first and slow your arms and hands down.
Having the proper ball position on iron shots can help you hit more consistent and confident shots on the course. Having the ball in the middle of your stance can help promote a negative angle of attack, which allows you make contact with the ball before the ground. Hitting up on irons shots can cause you to top the ball and have less consistency in your shots.
You hear the words “position” or “positioning” in sports a lot—and with good reason.
Football coaches talk about the importance of field position and positional matchups in regards to players. Basketball coaches stress being in the right position on defense or to grab a rebound. Auto racers are obsessed with pole position and getting position on the track so they can make a move towards Victory Lane. Boxing, tennis, soccer, it doesn’t really matter what sport you choose, your position is key.
Golf is certainly no different. And today, we’re going to talk ball position at address—with all clubs.
It all goes back to the basic fundamentals you learned during your very first junior lesson. Grip the club with your hands in the right position, stand with your feet, and the proper ball position at address. Without these basic fundamentals, you simply can’t play good golf.
Now you might think, “I learned about those things as a kid and it doesn’t apply now.” Not true. We could all use a refresher course from time-to-time. There could be several reasons why you played poorly during your last round. You might have doomed your round before you swung the club, all because you weren’t lined up properly.
Knowing the proper positioning during setup is the key to scoring, and in this article I’m going to walk you through your bag and show you how having the proper set up will help you play better and score better.
