Golf Left Hand Release Drill for Effortless, Penetrating Shots

Mastering how to properly release the lead hand during the downswing is genuinely one of the key factors that separates golfers stuck in the 80s, 90s, and 100s from those who consistently break into the 70s. The golf release is where all your mechanics finally pay off at impact.

This fundamental is so critical that I require many of the tour professionals I coach to hit balls using only their lead hand for several weeks until the movement pattern is deeply ingrained. The payoff for this dedicated practice is flat, penetrating golf shots that can fly through any wind with minimal effort.

In this video, I introduce the RST Lead Hand Release Drill. This is a golf drill you can easily perform at home or even in the office (don't lie, I know you do it!) to begin training the lead hand to properly release the golf club through the hitting zone.
