If your body goes straight coming down you have to release the club with your hands and wrists. Most people never fix this problem because they don’t fix the cause. In this video Gary talks about extension and the body release and shows how to use the secret properly.
Hi Gary, I love the site! Many people say your swing is just an arms swing. In your videos you talk a lot about the arms pulling the body but you also talk about a body release. Is it one or the other? or perhaps both? Thanks James
Many low handicap players struggle with staying down and flipping. In this Lesson Gary talks about the difference between a hand release and a body release.
Question from Dan Gd Day Gary, need advise from you. i’ve go through Lamb’s / Rod’s swing video many times. i can see from their DS, they’re actually rotating their body with their arms just ride along. and their hips are open at impact. is this what you call ” body released” ? but i’ve […]
Hi Gary, would it be possible to run through the release and follow through of the right sided swing. You have touched on different components in various clips about other topics and I would love to see a dedicated review. For example you mention how at impact the upper arms are close to […]
In this video Gary explains to a student what the release is in the right sided swing and how it cannot be achieved unless the body is right. The release is actually a hinge up as the body works around and not the hands rolling over post impact.
Tour Players try to launch the ball at about half the measured loft of their irons. To do that consistently you need to understand the concept of True-Loft and what a Release really is. In this video Gary talks about how impact and the follow-though should feel in the RSS.
In some of Gary’s seminar footage Gary mentions that a Right-Sided release would feel flippy to a flipper. I was wondering if that could be explained further. Being a little on the handsy side myself, this seems to make some sense but it is not something that I have heard explained in any detail. Thanks!
Hi Gary I had a bit of a light bulb moment working with my coach this week with reference to the horizontal hitting video. I was under the impression that for a body release, you had to hold on through impact. When I abandoned this concept and allowed some hand and arm action, things rapidly […]
Hi, Store up – Pamps has plenty and hits it far. The downswing angle is increased, not only ‘stored’ from the backswing. How do you prevent this angle opening up too early (similar to a cast as you would see in an Over the Top Swing) in the right sided swing? […]
If your body goes straight coming down you have to release the club with your hands and wrists! Flippers are usually inconsistent and miss both ways. In this new video Gary talks about the main cause of Early Extension and how to release the body without changing your wrist angles.
Tour Players try to launch the ball at about half the measured loft of their irons. To do that consistently you need to understand the concept of True-Loft and what a release really is. In this new video Gary talks about impact and the follow-though and how to stop adding loft at impact.
The arms pull the body into a turn. You can turn a lot and and still not get any coil. Turn in the wrong direction and you can’t swing your arms down. We have just uploaded Gary’s response to the question: Is it an Arm Swing or a Body Release? Enjoy!
Most golfers who have lack power try to generate speed with the club-head. The term ‘club-head speed’ is so bad in this case because it conjures up the idea of the club-head passing the hands! In this video Gary looks at few of the modern heavy hitters and goes through some power options that don’t […]

The Set-up of Peter Thomson is legendary! Commentators used to talk about his customary low right shoulder but there is much more to learn from the set-up angles and arm bias of this five-time Open Champion. This month in the Members Area Gary looks at the reasons some students shut-off with their shoulders when trying […]
Gary often says “release is for prisoners”! What he means is that you do not need to change your initial wrist angles to “release” the club. This month in the Member Area Gary demonstrates the Toe-up Draw and explains how to shape your ball without extending your arms and flipping your wrists. We also have […]
