Fix Your Slice with the Anti-Release

Video Transcript

"This segment, in terms of why people slice, is what I call the anti-release. Most people release the club, those that hit a draw, by turning their hands over, just like that. Most golfers call that the release, you're releasing your hands. The anti-release is, instead of your hands staying square, or turning over this way, when they come into the ball, they actually open up that way. As if you were hitting in ping-pong, possibly a slice or in tennis a slice, a little drop shot slice. It's an anti, it's an anti-release. Now, that happens most of the time, not when someone swings towards the target or when they swing a little inside-out. It's when the swing plane goes left. When the swing plane goes left, it ties you up. When that swing plane goes left, it ties you up and your hands actually open. So, once again, your swinging left, you're getting in your way, you're getting tied up, and your hands actually open up. And that is the anti-release. And, another disadvantage, of swinging outside-in, that your hands open up with the anti-release, the club face opens up even more, outside-in, open club face. Oh, boy, you could see how that is going to put a tremendous amount of spin on the ball. So, if you slice the ball, it very well could be, because of the anti-release."
