Squaring the Clubface Using Your Forearm.

[skillzwhogolfs]

I have been having trouble lately with releasing the club and squaring the clubface. The other day I started hitting my clubs better but was not really consistent. I had the idea today to try to loosen up my hands and not worry about them during the swing and square my forearms in order to square the clubface. It was great and was hitting so much straighter.

Has anyone heard of this before? tried it? anything? this may even help you square the clubface better.

I do pretty much exactly that. I don't release my hands so much as feeling the rotation/release in my left forearm. Keeps me from getting too handsy.....

Yeah I felt like it was to hard for every swing to get your hands square like they say, but when my forearms are square my hands are anyway. It seems easier to me at least.

Once my wrists are set at the top, it feels like I just hold that position into the finish.  They unhinge, of course, but it doesn't feel like it to me.  I don't open the face on the way back so there is no need to square it on the way down.  Just hinge it square, set it, then swing through.  As far as forearms, I like to feel like you could put a plate horizontal on my forearms at 3 o clock and 9 o clock.
