Pay close attention to look at the back of the left hand in the last frame before impact,

and the back of the left hand is facing straight to the impact, and the back of the left hand is facing

straight to the camera, and the club is pointed straight backwards, maybe even a little upward,

and then a frame or two later, the hand has only moved laterly toward the target about 15 inches,

but now the underside of the left wrist is facing toward the camera.

So there's been a full 180 degree rotation

of that left hand through impact, the release we call it. And when that hand releases that way,

look at what happened. The hand move laterally from six or eight inches behind the ball to six or eight

inches in front of the ball, but the club head moved from three and a half feet behind the ball to three and a half feet ahead of the ball. But the club head moved from three

and a half feet behind the ball to three and a half feet ahead of the ball. So there's a tremendous

magnification of power in that rotational move of the hand through impact. That's why tour players

can hit it so far and look like they're not swinging hard at all because the only thing moving

fast is that rotational move of the hand. And that's where they're getting swinging hard at all because the only thing moving fast is that rotational

move of the hand and that's where they're getting this tremendous magnification of power it's the

proper release and you can go learn that by hitting pitch shots and rotating and releasing that because

you're doing it in slow motion and once you get the feel of that it's the biggest epiphany eye
