I could have my left wrist in three different positions, flat, flexed, or extended. If you struggle with contact, odds are you might struggle with too much extension. Too much extension makes the shaft lean back and it adds loft - meaning bad contact, high, short and right shots. If you want to learn to pure your irons and hit the ball really solid, flexing your lead wrist more than you even think is probably the number one way to get there in terms of arms and hands. When I do my release, if we look at a swing about hip high to hip high and into my follow through, wrist flexion is one of the key elements. When I do that, I'm feeling like my left wrist goes from a flat position and I'm increasing the amount of flex at impact and past. Wrist flexion is part one, but one of the keys that goes along with that is a forearm rotation or supination. How do you add that supination? Get your palm up towards the sky. That movement is a key movement in terms of releasing the golf club. When I do that, the dynamic loft is going to be turned down and the face will start to get close to the path. Some of you guys are going to do this and you're going to hit some pull hooks because you’ve never closed the club face before and now you're overdoing it. That’s good in the beginning. You’ve been hitting the ball right for 10 years, you need to hit some pure left shots first and then get back to straight. Learn more about how to do these movements and get some practice drills in the extended version of this video.

1. This is a stock pattern release. OF COURSE it depends some on what you do individually in your swing. In particular if your grip is overly strong or weak you would potentially make some subtle adjustments. This works especially well with neutral to weak grips. Probably less supination for strong grips.
2. You can do this with all clubs. Including Driver. OF COURSE it depends on what you do individually in your swing. In particular your swing speed, angle of attack ,etc.
Hope that helps some!
Given a previous video about how to get shaft lean..
Personally I like left ARM feels but right side BODY feels.
You need more of a drive/hold release.
Left arm flying off chest, less forearm rotation, less wrist flexion, etc.
Basically the opposite of this :)
Why my "how to match your grip to your wrist conditions" video....the title is something along those lines I explain it more there
I'm liking this video plenty and am seriously contemplating heading for the driving range. I've been working so hard on 'body patterns' that I'm actually scared of hitting golf shots. When I pick up a club and address the ball, my old over-the-top-early-extension swing kicks in and causes me extreme anguish and frustration. I'll give this a try over the winter months - I think I'll see a huge improvement...
Cheers!,
William
Thanks again Eric!
but in terms of what you should FEEL is the question. I will do a video on it. Better to feel extension maintain AND ADD right arm pronation for most.

I'm talking about the normal player. They don't sniff palmar flexion during the backswing nor earlier phases of downswing.
How do they square the face with the drive hold release?
Have you taught this to golfers yourself who don't break 90 regularly? Golfers who's club faces are chronically more open than closed? How do you employ the drive hold release for them?
I like the drive hold release for players with stronger grips or more elite level players who have more speed.
Do you personally teach the drive hold release to golfers who have lower clubhead speeds? Of course the players you are talking abouit 110-125 mph elite players have enough speed to support that dynamic loft.
I would like to know specifically from you
1. If you teach this to golfers who have open clubfaces?
2. If you teach this to golfers with driver clubhead speed below 90 7i CHS below 85
3. How (show an example) of your lesson with either player above
4. Please also share research that suggests that the drive hold is superior to a flip/roll for these level of player.
Eric does not delay the rolling of his bowed left wrist to well beyond impact in his video description. He describes a distinct left forearm supinatory motion through impact, which will predispose to a roller hand release action that is associated with a high ROC through the immediate impact zone between P7 and P7.2. I agree with you that a combined rolling/handle-dragging release is not the best way to hit consistently straight golf shots. I think that Eric needs to learn how to perform a drive-hold hand release action with either a FLW or a minimally bowed left wrist - as described in this short review paper at http://perfectgolfswingreview.net/VP9.html

Keep em coming Eric....
Please have that concrete bench painted. I love your videos but that bench drives me crazy!
Of course it depends on your grip, swing speed, etc.

Would love to see some driver videos.
I went to shooting in the 90's to shooting a 83 my last round so thanks.
