Learning how to release the club from the 430 entry spot is absolutely the best way to ultimately learn how to slot the club better on the downswing. If you cannot HIT the ball from the 430 point, your body and brain will never allow you to approach from that spot
A completed shoulder turn plays a huge role in a golfer's ability to swing the club on the correct path. Watch this drill to learn to turn.
Getting the arms in the correct spot to learn the 430 release is a visual thing as well as a function thing. This drill is not just about releasing the club- It is setting up the body so it can be primed to keep moving through and beyond.
The "Out Is Down" video I made for my YouTube channel several years still continues to be one of my most watched and now better understood aspects of the swing. Watch this new video supporting the evidence and see how it all works in slow motion.
The poorer golfer tends to have trouble hitting down on the ball. The low point of their swing is too far behind the ball due to an early release and this results in thin shots or fat shots.
It always amazes me how the students that work within the boundaries of the drills have the most success at altering their swing for the better. Here is a great example.
