This might be one of the best release videos I’ve seen. He conveys well and his articulation and delivery is impeccable
i agree... but uh... what is supernate and pronate?
Hey Dice, it really is the best video I've ever seen on the release! Fantastic and very well explained. Thanks Jonathan🙂
Wow very well explained
I agree...best I've seen
@@bermchasin They are refer to the relative hand/palm positions to the body. Supination = thumb points outside of the body, Pronation = thumb points toward the body
The best, clearest and most straightforward explanation of releasing the club I've ever seen..
Such a refreshing channel, none of that "stop this" and " magic trick to add 50 yards" crap. This breaks it down and explains what you should do in easy to understand terms. Loving this!!!
I was told for years that going L to L was outdated. And all those years I believed it, to my detriment. I've never had more success squaring the club than going L to L. Great video.
Look up the article in Golf Digest (Jan 1985) by Tom Kite about forgetting the late release. He talks about this exact drill & method. 😀😀😀👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I wish I’ve seen this channel 20 year ago. I took a few lessons from “local pros” at the nearby golf courses. When UA-cam started getting popular I must have watched at least 5 different golf instruction channels and I would rank them from below average to not bad. Now I’ll have to say this channel is the best I’ve seen. Excellent.
Try Danny Maude’s videos, as well. 👍🏻
how did you like the lessons from the pros? Were they engaged, and trying to make you better?
WHY DIDN’T ANYONE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME WHEN I STARTED PLAYING GOLF?????
I’ve had quite a few lessons in my life and have specifically asked at times how the club should be released and this is the first time anyone’s ever explained it simply and clearly!
Jonathan, thanks for a great video! Can’t wait to try this out!
Hey JKM, I’m a golfer in my mid 30s returning after a 10 year hiatus. I came back to a deteriorated golf swing with constant slices and everything just felt off, despite consulting various UA-cam “golf instructors”.
I found your channel 3 days ago and have been following along, practicing in the living room in front of the tv lol. I watched your in-to-out series last night, and within a single hour and a half practice session today at the range, I 100% fixed my slice and re-discovered how to hit a draw. Thank you so much for your time and effort in creating these videos. You have, hands down, the best golf instructional videos on UA-cam.
Literally me but 5 months after this comment + bad car accident. But just came back after many years. Used to be pretty decent. Long story short im pretty much having to re-learn my entire swing everything.
I have been researching golf lessons for a long time, but I recognize that Jonathan Kim-Moss is undoubtedly one of the best, because he explains all the movements and consequences in detail. I had to reside in Portugal to be able to receive some classes.
I struggled with my follow thru since I started playing. Watched videos on the follow thru but never worked for me. You nailed it with the explanation of Ulnar Deviation. Thats exactly what I do. Then you hit me with gold when you said "player doesn't know how to accelerate the opposite end of the club". I never thought of getting the clubhead to move faster than the handle. Tried it at the range yesterday and my follow thru was automatic instead of me trying to force it. Thanks. You just changed my game in this valuable video. Been playing since 90's too and everyone I play with tells me that my swing stops as soon as I contact the ball and I need to just let it go. I just never knew how till now. Thank You!!!!
This guy is very good. This vid changed my swing.
Are you still playing well?
@Stackin Paper: It was 6:30pm where I am and had to race down to my local club to try this 😂 For the first time in 10years of playing golf regularly I freakin end up finishing my swing like a normal person. 😅 That’s all I wanted to do. Your comment and your donation made me think something actually did work for someone. This young guy is good 👍
@@Will-nb8qk Yes I am. This was truly a game changer. This video along with proper footwork in this video makes you strike the ball like a pro. ua-cam.com/video/Hbxtlxx0yIs/v-deo.html
I was practicing on the grass at a local range last week. A PGA instructor was teaching a class to the left of me (behind). I had my headphones on and practicing on my irons. I looked up between irons and noticed the entire class and instructor was watching me. He started saying something so I took off my headphones. He said "Thank you for letting us watch you swing. I'm telling my class if you want to swing well just do what he does" That right there confirmed I'm releasing the club the right way!
@@Will-nb8qk check this video out too. It tells you the proper foot work. Combine it with this release video. ua-cam.com/video/Hbxtlxx0yIs/v-deo.html
Thank you Jonathon. i am a beginner at 63yrs old. The way you explain and relay what you are trying to teach me and everyone else who watches your video's is amazing. Thank you for improving my game.
You're very welcome!
This is absolutely the best instruction ever on how to release the club. So we’ll described and extremely easy to understand.
This is exactly what I needed to hear. So many teachers tell you to focus on the body. I am at the point where I am using a lot of body and apparently not enough arms and wrists. Your explanation of flipping in the comments helped. It’s almost impossible to supinate and pronate pre impact. I think the only other thing I may need to guard against is too much forearm rotation in the backswing with this method. Thank you. I have been lacking distance for a while and I suspect this is the cause
I hear yay. Same boat! I come from racquet sports and finally someone telling me I can use my wrists and arms. Maybe I was doing it too much before so I just got to find that middle ground now.
Same here! I have been hyper focused on rotation recently and have lost ALOT of distance with my irons as a result. I will be hitting the range tomorrow and try this out. Hopefully that is the key I've been looking for. Just like all of the other "keys" I've been searching for. Im sure you all know what I'm getting at lol
Same for me ! I struggled the last 2 yrs trying to “lag”, hold the angle etc ..
Last week I started to follow this lesson, just focus on my left thumb… and the results just amazing
Thank you for the video. When I Swung with this swing ,instead of seeing straight shots , the ball tend to curve more to the left? Does that mean I have to aim to the right to counteract this problem ? Why is it not square ? Thank you 🙏🏻
So many people told me to use my hips now I spin out and come over the top think I'm lacking arm speed. So 3xcited to try this today cause I do exactly what he says not to do. And I block shots always. When I do release the club I play better but always scared to do it.
Been trying for 2 years now to make my golf swing look more pro like. Although I'm older, 67, I still hit the ball well with compression, but not consistent enough. I've been comparing my swing almost frame for frame against all the pros and teachers/coaches, and every frame looks just about identical up until after contact. My finish was has been so awful, I hater looking at it. I pretty much was being taught how to get my swing correct right up until contact and was even told "we have to work on that finish". I was doing exactly as you mentioned with the arm out straight after contact, keeping trail wrist unreleased at contact and continuing with club aimed at the target up until horizontal. But that finish looked awful.
So I've been looking hard to find the right video that will teach me how to finish. I found a great explanation yesterday before watching this video explaining how to turn the lead forearm facing up after rolling the past contact. (hope I explained that right). Once I tried it, I realized what I was missing in my finish from contact to follow through. Very relaxing, and really no tension at all in any part of the body. My back has never been happier. I wished I was taught this during my lessons a while ago. It would have made things so much easier and faster to learn the complete swing.
One of the biggest problems I observed while trying the correct video to learn from is how the explanation is presented. That is so important to keep it simple yet concise with the proper steps and in the right order for the average golfer to learn from. Too many go off on tangents trying to explain a simple process and giving a simple drill that hits the point precisely. This video explained every part of why my lead arm was bending after contact and why my finish look terrible. This only the second video I've seen explaining why so many amateurs have a chicken wind type finish who otherwise have a decent swing. I watching this channel and subscribing to see what else I've been searching for.
I freaking love this video 👏🏽 finally an instructor that shows and explains this in great detailed. No instructor on you tube has been able to perfectly show this in sequence the way you have.
I agree. I hit my 7 iron 180 yds today. I’m generally in the 160’s. I noticed that I whipped through the ball in this exact motion. I searched youtube high and low for some details and found myself back here, yet again. This is a game changer for club head speed.
I take that back. Mike Malaska goes into detail as well!!
Keeping the head down and behind the ball until well after impact allows the 2 very important moves highlighted in the video to happen. Pronation and supination of the forearms and radial deviation of the wrists. Freddie Couples does this as well as anyone and is one of the reasons his swing looks so smooth and effortless.
Very well explained I gotta say. The most difficult part of learning golf is having someone who expresses efficiently and clearly the drills. U did a great job!
I just had a lesson from my pro about this and was looking for a reminder video so I remember what I'm meant to be practicing, and this is perfect and so clearly explained.
Best and clearest instructions on all your videos. Thank You
Thank you 🙏 for such a great explanation! Learning how to play golf and this is so clear to understand. Smiles from
The English Sisters ❤❤
I was taught this by the club pro I worked for about 38 yrs ago in college. Not sure why I stopped this move. Have a few lessons over the past 10 yrs with other pros and they all told me this was wrong and I needed to use my body to release. They said “stop rotating your firearms”.
I went back to this 2 weeks ago and my iron shots have more ball speed (added approx 6-8mph), more height and a better decent angle.
Great video!!!
Absolutely amazing teacher. Im blown away at how in depth and how perfect your explanation was. Love the videos 100%!!
You are amazing. I've only been playing for 8 months but have learned so much from you. At 53, I broke 90 today and shot an 88 because of you and I'm still learning and practicing every day. Thank You for everything.
Great to hear! That’s awesome
Dude you broke it down better then anybody I’ve seen on UA-cam, thank you! New sub!!
One of the best golf tip youtube videos out there, if not the best.
Such a good video. Simple too. I'm a teaching pro and I will say that so much of the instruction and talk of the golf swing during Pro tournaments on TV has a GREAT deal to do with why people screw this up. The professional golfer knows how to release and in most cases is trying to LIMIT the release into a controlled fade. Problem is those aims have NO BENEFIT to the average golfer who DOES NOT know how to release the golf club properly--as you are demonstrating here. BEFORE any of this HOLD or FADE stuff ever may find it's way into your swing, you HAVE GOT to learn how to release the club properly first. EXACTLY what he's showing here. WONDERFUL VIDEO. )
I’m impressed… typically I won’t pay attention to a video from anyone in a GOLFTEC shirt or bay. I took lessons from GOLFTEC for almost 2 years with 2 different coaches and gained very little in regard to proper mechanics or simple explanation of things like “what is releasing the club” or these subjects and techniques that most amateurs don’t really understand. Thank you for taking the time to teach more than the “numbers “ and taking the time to explain these matters in depth.
I’ve watched more than my fair share of videos trying to SEE what I’m doing wrong in my downswing. Your video has shown me that I’m the golfing type that doesn’t turn my wrists over. I watch my own practice sessions and never looked at my wrists, only my arms, and they always look like the bent ones you shown as incorrect. This is probably why I tend to dip in the downswing as well. My arms seem to be both straight at address, but no matter what, every single time on my downswing, I will dip down with bent arms and push the club through, rather than hold my address position and sweep my arms/turning my wrists (with straight arms) through the shot. This is honestly amazing. Thank you so much for giving me a VISUAL.
what a fantastic video. You are a very articulate instructor. As I am coming to understand the golf swing- the proper way to strike the ball- is the correct hand position at the precise instant of ball strike; and in order to arrive at this position, I must strive to ARRIVE at that correct right arm position (where the right arm is parallel to the ground). It is though I should not concern myself with working the hand/arm positions PRIOR to ball strike, but rather proper hand/arm position at those few milliseconds after ball strike.............Cause and effect, it is all cause and effect.
Thank you so much
You broke this movement down so expertly and do a great a job with introducing the drills. Instead of just saying "stop doing this" you introduce a drill to help feel what the player is doing wrong and how to correct it. Thanks I can't wait to try it!
Great Teacher! Super explanations, and demos!
I've been struggling with blocks to push slices for a month or so, ever since I started working on more lateral shift during the downswing, something I needed to get a more consistent strike. I discovered almost by accident at range today, that focusing on rolling my right arm over during the follow through sorted out direction and also added more distance - just what you describe in this video. I perhaps have been resisting this almost sub-consciously, as it feels that the club face is closing rapidly at the point of contact, therefore inconsistent direction is a risk. Your video has given me confidence to keep working on it, and I think both drills will be useful for me. Keep up the great instruction!
Your comment sounds like my issue too. Decent player, but I hit a lot of blocks and weak fades that cost valuable distance in the hopes of maintaining accuracy. Also, a lot of instruction seems to warn us against “flipping” the club and timing issues with a “too active release.” . So, long story short I tried this release technique recently while suffering through another mediocre round and - bang! Suddenly straight shots and tight draws. I never hooked anything. JKM is awesome and I’ll be practicing what he’s preaching going forward!
Straightforward and simplified. Thanks for the video.
You’re a great teacher mate. Moved overseas 8 years ago and have finally got my golf going again! My swing needs tweaking and your videos are really top draw.
This is by far the best explenation I have ever seen on youtube for releasing the club. Awesome!!!
As a complete beginner to golf (Aug 1 2023) this has totally explained exactly what I need to do. I have to relearn my swing now because of you 😂 but I’ll take it. Awesome video
I think a good feel of releasing the club naturally is to not move the chest much from the top of the backswing. Feel like you are hitting the ball with your chest closed and swinging and extending your arms. When you extend your arms out they will slow down and the club will swing past them and the face will close, your hands will naturally return to square as your arms are extended in front of you like in the address position. Your chest will naturally rotate back to square. Your right arm will be slightly bent and wrist slightly extended back from the dynamics of bending them on the backswing and then shifting your weight to your left side so it won't be exactly like address. So the feeling is you are swinging down closed back to address with your arms extended, hands and clubface square to the target line. As the club swings past your hands it will pull you to rotate toward the target. So the follow thru is the club pulling you and everything decelerating gently not the body spinning violently pulling the club thru. So most good players thru impact and in the follow thru their body is not moving very fast it almost looks like their body is stopped till the club passes thru. While most bad players are over rotating their upper body and the club never really passes the arms.
exactly , this is the best video and the truth about the hand and wrist release that almost not one is revealing , Jonathan you are a great master teacher , the people obsessed with ben hogan body release forgot that hogan did had wrist hinge , and no one dared to get into this major move . great job great mastery Jon !
Very well explained, to keep it simple, it is an art, and your démo are really appropriate. Top world instruction Jonathan. One of the best, BRAVO
I favorited this video about a year ago when I first started playing and I had no idea what you were talking about but I knew at some point it would be helpful. Well i just came back and watched it again and my god this is probably the single most helpful lesson I’ve ever seen. The fix for the chicken wing just solved so many issues I was having.
Thanks really makes sense,easy to understand instruction.
Duuuuuude, that thumb drill is MONEY. I have been working hard to stop getting over the top and I have developed a bad habit of blocking it right in doing so. The thumb drill just helped me tremendously. I was consistently pounding the ball on my simulator for the past 20 minutes. Love it.
Excellant explanation of releasing the club. Seems like the weight of the club head should facilitate the release. I suspect that oftentimes it doesn’t because of 2 things: 1) We (amateurs) instinctively feel as though we need to help the ball up into the air (which causes flipping as opposed to releasing) and; 2) We think that releasing the club will send the ball drastically to the left so our instinct is to hold the club head from releasing. Your thoughts Jonathan?
Excellent video. I work on this all the time; it is difficult with today's light weight clubs. The heavier high D, low E swing weight clubs make this really easy to accomplish. Cheers!
Love the bio mechanics terminology. Clear and precise. Practice drills are helping me. Thank you.
The best clear instructions with explanations and actual demonstrations, Thanks JKM
This is one of the best golf instructional videos I've seen. Its so simple, but effective.
After working of the drills, I went to the driving range. While trying this release method I finagling realized I was gripping the club too tight, After relaxing my grip this technic works very well. Thanks
This is the best release video I have ever seen, very clearly explain and easy to understand.
I've been looking for a video that shows how to get better rotation in the hands through the bottom of the swing and this one described the process extremely well. This will probably add 20 yards to my shots. I can hear the difference in air-displacement on practice swings alone. I was using an extremely strong grip as a band-aid for my inability to close the face through contact, leading to a lot of pushes, but I'm hoping a few days of drills with the L to L and thumb hold will help alleviate that entirely. Two minutes of L to L's had my wrists feeling a lot more involved in a faster clubhead.
Awesome content.
Thank you very much! I've been struggling with this problem for 6 months, and now I understand why I can't release the punch! The wrist wrap! Thanks!! Thank you from Hungary!!
Probably the best video demonstration. Like the demonstration of the mistakes and addressing with simple solution. Thanks
Excellent instructor! Thanks Jonathan!
This is the one that I am looking for and he explained it loud and clear...Now I know the timing from impact to closing the club..Thank you..
I can’t tell you how much I’m learning from you,I need to know the why as much if not more than the how and you deliver succinctly on both counts! Thank you so much for your hard work and enthusiasm 🙏🏻
That was fabulous! Thank you for the detailed explanation. No one has ever broken it down this way for me.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! After so many UA-cam videos, finally someone breaking down the swing accurately. I've been struggling with my follow through as I tend to chicken wing my left arm (lead arm). I've been trying to mentally tell my arms to twist after impact but it's been difficult. Your video has definitely helped.
Adjusting my swings again after watching your video, my shots are terrible at the moment (due to the swing change) but man thank you thank you!
Subscribed to your channel!
This video is AWESOME! Easy to understand and execute!
The drills and solutions are exemplary!
Wow!! Fantastic video. The control of the wrists is so important and your explanation is spot on. I will take this to the range today. I have so much to improve on. I'm subscribed. Thank you for making this video and sharing.
Fantastic video on release. I now have a much better understanding for this 76 year old 16 Handicap
Watched a few of your videos tonight and i think you are brilliant at explaining things clearly! Feeling confident about going to the range tomorrow and hitting balls better! Keep up the good work!
I have watched so many golf videos in my 11 years of golfing that I decided not to watch anymore videos and just go out and use my right brain to just hit the ball, but I came across you for the first time and this video makes so much sense, and it is exactly where I need help. I haven't tried it yet, but being the athlete that I am, I'm sure the tips in this video will help me tremendously my next practice session. Thank you, and I did subscribe to this channel.
You are really gifted for teaching. You explained the concept very well. Thanks.
Absolutely imperative for squaring club face, solid contact and max distance. Well done 👍........
This has to be the best definition of a release I’ve ever seen. Thank You so much. Step out back tried the drill and it fit me like a fine tailored suit
It IS the best video on the release of the club that I have seen. I have been using the L-to-L drill for myself and my students fro a long time, but this is the best explanation of the drill that I have experienced. Thanks, Jonathan!
This is super helpful. I've never seen anyone explain the swing and release this clearly before.
Watching this video earlier would have saved me a lot of headache in trying to find out what I was doing wrong. Thank you so much.
Awesome, waiting on this video. You are one of the absolute best on UA-cam. Thank you taking time to share, explain and demonstrate. Many thanks
I’ve been trying to figure out for months why I chicken wing and my arms collapse on impact ! This is the best video I’ve seen by far ! I totally get it now ! Thanks mate off to the range 🙏🙏🙏
thank you for sharing. I like how you simplify the golf swing
NICE JOB JONATHAN, excellent info and practical application...Ed 86 YO
I have had lots of lessons and you are a great communicator of golf knowledge.
One of the best tips and lessons I’ve seen. Time to put it to practice. Saved to my favorite lessons. Thanks
Finally explained properly and truly needed in the swing! Great job young man.
I found this invaluable. I have the utmost respect for this young man who invests his time to give us what we need. I am so afraid to do these exercises because of my tendency to go low and left. Anyway I trust him and will see what happens after some practice.
Great video and great timing, because correct release is exactly my issue at the moment. Your demo of the incorrect release could have been a video of me. I think the thumb exercise could be just what I need to visualise where I need to get to, fingers crossed, not literally. The video definitely gives me a clear image of where I need to get to and that is worth so much. Thank you.
The best golf club release video on UA-cam, beautifully explained. 👌
The L to L makes so much sense..... great video and excellent explanation of the mechanics
This is the most helpful tip to my slice so far. And the L to L it the best warmup swing for me so far!!!
Outstanding. I’ve watched hundreds of videos on release and straight arms and never seen a demonstration like this. I can’t wait to try this tomorrow. I’ve been struggling with that dreaded chicken wing for years. Thank you.
What an incredible explanation of the release. Makes so much sense, thank you so much
Too much instruction on UA-cam telling people NOT to release the club because they claim it’s flipping at the ball. Flipping is an early release at the ball…..correct release after the ball is ideal just as is explained here. Mike Malaska does a great job of showing how to use your hands and wrists and arms in the swing and not just drag the club with your body. Great video here!!
Outstanding young man. Great teaching of a fluid and dynamic swing.
the best of best lesson !!
You are a great instructor.
One aspect we need is timing on aspects / techniques that you explain. THANK YOU JKM
Jonathan Brilliant Fantastic Wonderfull . In 80 years Trying to play Golf .countless golf lessons every one I learn less and even more confused . My head - shoulders - arms - hands - hips - legs - feet do not speak to each other they have a mind of there own LOL. I do not know why I did not give up the bloody game 75 years ago it would have saved me thousands in golf lessons thousands drowing my sorrows at the 19 TH . I had brown curly hair now no hair LOL. Jonathan in that one video you have showen every thing at Last I know what I have been doing wrong the last 75 years .LOL can not wait to get out on the range thank you
I just tried out these drill and my swing speed immediately increased by 5 mphs. I've been literally holding/pulling my swing back and this has finally helped me swing more freely.
Excellent demonstration of release problems with clear drills and instruction to improve. Thanks
This class is one of the best that I’ve seen on UA-cam. Excellent!
as a beginner , this video is the best solution for me, on my way to the range now and try it. thanks.
Great instructional videos. No fluff and gimmicks, just substance.
I appreciate that!
This is exactly what I am learning from teacher on PGA tour
Very useful video
Thank you very much
Excellent explanation. Better than anything on UA-cam
Really loved the explanation of the follow through in a way I've never heard using the lead thimb. Well done!
Glad tohave found your tutorials. You have a definite talent for teaching! Thanks
So basically you need soft wrists in the backswing to turn your wrists over with the weight and momentum of the club in the downswing. I seem to get the best results by feeling the clubhead in the backswing. One of your videos about feeling your head touching a wall thorough contact I found very helpful. Your instruction is really good.
Great stuff! Really enjoy your videos. I’ve been struggling with this concept for quite a while now. This L to L or rolling release was what I grew up with. Old school. But I’ve taken on the body release / hold the lag style. Sort of Brookes Koepka vs Gary Player if you can visualise that. Now I’m very flippy through impact. I keep his push shots with the driver and wondering where my draw has gone. I recalled my old teacher saying’Release the club’ and let the wrists be more active. Result: strong, penetrating draw shape.
Your lesson gives me confidence to go back to what I know. The whole release thing can be very confusing so thanks for explaining it so well.
Very good visual with the thumb position. Thank you
excellent tuition jonathan, this is bio-mechanics made clearer!
especially as it applies to the correct method of ball striking,
thanks 🤔👍👍
Best explanation for squaring club face through impact.
Faldo explain this well in 98 book the Winning Formula
Love your series
Just an excellent explanation of the mechanics of the release, for sure one of the best out there.
