HOW TO RELEASE THE GOLF CLUB - Stop Slicing Driver For Good (Easy Tip)

So, it’s not moving my head away from the wall, but first I need to move towards and then away? I don’t get it. How can I swing my head to and from the wall? Why not just away?

Does this include irons too?

Best golf coach on the internet. Wish you’d visit us in Boston USA someday.

I've tried something like this, but I end up bottoming the driver way behind the ball and scuffing the ground before contact. What can be causing this, have you got any videos that can help?

Merci pour ce conseil depuis la France , je vais essayer car c est ce que je cherche ne pas partir avec la balle

Stop telling and showing what not to be

Coach , great video, so carrying this one step further, does any of this technic apply to the iron swing? I would be very curious what your thoughts are about this. Thanks!

Really good, thank you! Going to try it at the range.

Do you swing the club head to the right to ensure an in to out path?

Yeah this ,in my case , definitely helps..the thing is ,and i cant explain this,..,is my best results seem to happen when i dont get my weight forward ..if i consciously get my weight over front foot theres no telling where the ball will go. But if i end with weight on my back foot (almost like some sort of reverse tilt (for lack of better wording) the ball goes almost perfectly straight ..its an odd feeling of thinking “damn this shot will be ugly “ then seeing a bomb straight down the fairway… so i know im making other mistakes but ill be damned if i can figure it out 🤷🏼‍♂️✌️👍🏼 ..

I happened upon this video on my search for the secret to improving my directional consistency. I’m not a slicer but I have a bidirectional miss pattern (low pulls and high blocks)…the head movement idea has been helping me tremendously with my weight shift and release…so far…pretty exciting, but I’m still cautiously optimistic that it will stand the test of time. Thanks so much!

I must have a club head speed of 160 if that chart is accurate :P

Love your videos, but this video was more about club face, body movement and positioning, thought it was specifically about "how" to release, not where. In any case, still a helpful video.!

Moving my body past the ball on the down swing has been my problem my whole life.

Huge huge huge thing that no one ever says. Let me start by saying I mirror your thinking. And even though I don't use this as a swing thought, it is part of how I swing and when I don't stay behind with my head, I could push or fade (unwanted)

BUT what I do that even allows me to do anything is keep my arms in front of my chest. I have to allow my arms to fold and rotate without reaching back. I notice in all the good players is they all rotate their core and keep arm in front

All golf teachers are bad. They create new problems. They treat symptoms

8 out of 10 golfers most certainly do not slice the golf ball.
Slice?? Really??
Alot of golfers fade the ball.
Is that what you mean? A fade is not a slice.
Pros/top amateurs tend to draw the ball. But they don't hook it, generally.
A draw is not a hook.
Terminology innit?

If I could start getting off the tee more consistently my handicap would come way done

Will adding side bend not move the low point?

Driver was always a strength of my game until about 12 months ago, started to hit a horrible push slice. Practiced this at the range then took it to the course, started hitting my usual draw again. Cannot thank you enough for this, simple and to the point instruction, fantastic

Bro I’ll never watch another of your videos. I quit watching after your (hopefully) last product placement. I realize you gotta make money but you really need to fix your format. Good luck 😂

A wounded duck !!!! A term for all you beginners. More embarrassing than a push or a slice. Re -Tee and what comes next ...a low hook. There is hope!

won't the weight be on the back foot?

I can't thank you enough for this tip, took it to the course this morning and after hitting a few to warm up the difference in my driver was night and day. Been struggling with a bad slice over recent months so this tip was just what i needed. Thank you! ⛳️

Adam Porzak does the same thing but with the tip of a knife against your left temple for righties. Just works. Opposite temple for irons stops you moving backwards off the ball. Worth a try. Cheers coach.

Great tip !! Thank you ....

Just back from the range after watching this. Absolutely amazing results. Cheers A🏌🏼‍♂️⛳️

Hi Matt I’ve subscribed to your channel hope you get to 100k been listening to you on NCG podcast. The I golfers I think it’s a great idea they can enter competitions on a weekend at a golf club where their not a member but will they be willing to pay entry fee alongside green fee where they aren’t allowed to win any prize money. Interested in your thoughts. NB I will definitely try your tip I’m a 1 handicapper who has a 2 way miss with driver.

The thing that helped me and it can help you all is, leading with the hand/handle. You should try it!

Lockey, you freaking did it, I stayed 60 seconds more and got the best tip of the year (for me at least) the mental wall did it, I pushed away from the ground and from the wall, which gave me the most beautiful baby draw in my drive, and took me to 260 meters in the first shot on the course. It was A mazing, Thank you so much.

I will try this tomorrow and let ya know!

Yesterday I commented on this video. Today I took it to the course. Thanks for the visual. I thought about this wall all day and no kidding: 16 outbof 18 driver shots were straight! Thanks!

Idk what it is coach I can fix the open face on the range but sometimes it can’t be controlled on course.

With all the U tube coaches which method do select because there all similar but different

Hey Coach. Great video. I don't really slice the driver but it's more of a push right. Not all the time but when it does, it goes straight right, any advice? Maybe on another video? Thx

What happened to Crossfield and Lockey working together? Does it not happen anymore or did something happen?

Who actually gets 130 mph clubhead speed ?

Thanks for the lesson. But why are you poking your nose into the camera?

Nicely done Coach! Always love the instruction with the breakdown. The thing with head is something I like to do personally. Then again, I also have a pretty short neck so I naturally turn my chin back as well only seeing the ball in peripheral vision. Recently I’ve had the opposite problem hooking hard… 😢

Cracking tip coach

Great info

Coach Lockey keeps delivering the best driver instruction I have ever seen. After the last video on take away and sequencing the driver swing, my club head speed, ball speed, and carry distance have gone up. Today my first 3 drives went offline right OB. I'm going to try this. It looks like he's teeing it higher than I am.

Coach - do you have an iron release video too?

Thats a great tip to practice.

Great tip Lockey! I’ve been struggling with this and I reckon this will sort me out 👍
