correct release

[blackydog]

had a lesson recently and it was obvious from the slow motion camera replay that amongst my faults [ 14 hcap ] i was casting from the top complete with chicken wing. My downswing at this time consisted of a small knee / hip slide to the left followed by a full hip turn, all club speed coming from my sliding / rotating hips. My tutor was trying to get me to fold my left arm on the throughswing and the only way i could achieve this was to "throw" the club with my right hand whilst slide / turning, is this right??
I remember an article by Rob Baker in which he said Jack Nicklaus had no notion of a late hit but threw the club powerfully from the top so long as his body was turning .
I visited the pro as i was straight pulling every shot.
The throwing action does give the feeling of the wrists working through impact but i don't want to practise and inbuild another fault, thoughts please, Blacky.

Re: correct release

read the response in the thread, importance of a full shoulder turn. To get the idea of folding up the left arm, hold your left arm above the elbow tight to your chest. Now swing and will begin to get the feel of the left arm folding up.
