How to Release the Club

[Bernie Fay]

Suggest me some drills or good moves on how to release & when? I having some issues due to my shoulder movement. What would help me better to get back on track or if some golf training aid would help me?

The thread title is confusing. That being said, I like the first five drills in this thread below, especially Day 5. Release is more about proper sequencing than something we try to do with our wrists.

I release many golf balls back into the wild.... That is assuming you consider the wild to be the trees lining the fairway of any golf course I play on. 

Keeping golf balls in captivity is just wrong. And in my opinion it needs to stop.

I’ve been using a thick rope at about 3/4 the length of a 7iron.  Maximum wrist cock usually occurs at A5 (when arm is parallel to ground on down swing).  So after that, you are “releasing.” Many people have this image of actively pushing their hands ahead of the ball for impact, which tends gets the swing armsy.  Swing a rope and try to have the rope straight at and through impact. If you are armsy, the rope may have slack because of being constantly accelerated.  The hands getting ahead of the ball will happen with good rotation and movement of the body.

I renamed the topic. @Bernie Fay, if the title is still not quite what you're asking… just let us know what a better title would be.

"Lag happens" or "the release happens" if you do a lot of things before it properly. I generally improve the "release" by improving setup, the backswing, etc.

Your own training aid could be somewhat useful, perhaps, in getting the right elbow higher and wider.
