There’s a lot to appreciate in this photo of Rory rocketing the ball off his club ( left ). Look how much his torso is behind the collision, which means he’s applied the mass of his body to it. Further catapulting the club into the ball, look at his left leg. After his knee moved laterally towards the target early in the downswing, it’s now pulling back. This abrupt reversal of direction shoots all of his energy into his arms and clubhead for a full release. Okay, a lot of this might seem too tough to copy. Without a lot of practice, I agree. However, you can do three things fairly easily. The first is to stay behind the ball with your upper body as you strike it. The second is to fully release the club. There should be no holding back whatsoever. The final thing is to hit up on the ball. If you work on just that, the first two things should come naturally. THROUGH IMPACT RELEASE FULLY; DON’T HOLD ANYTHING BACK
