Release the Club at the Right Time

Releasing the club too soon results in loss of power and control. Maria Palozola's Move the Angles drill will help you release the clubhead right at the moment of impact.

How to do the Move the Angles Drill

Take the club to the top of your back swing and notice the angle that you form with your rear wrist and the one that you form with your rear elbow. These angles should be close to 90 degrees. Think of these angles as your power package.

To learn to move these angles with your pivot, simply leave them intact and unwind until your club shaft is parallel to the ground using your hips, back and shoulder muscles. Do this a couple of times to get the feel of moving the angles with your big muscles.

After doing 2 or 3 pumps from the top of the swing, down to where your club is parallel to the ground and back up again, hit a ball without resetting yourself at address.

A lot of repetition is needed here to get the feel of releasing later and at the point of impact.

Soon enough, you feel yourself releasing at the ball or after and gaining power and control over your shots.

This is absolutely brilliant! I’ve been wanting some ideas for golf exercises - and these are perfect! Thank you 😊

I just joined , maybe a week ago. LOVE IT. Love all the lessons and that you can search for. You can search specific topics and pull up several lessons.

I don’t know what I would do without your site - it has been so beneficial to improving my game!

The advantage over other lesson websites are the member groups: the lesson one for a quick lesson or two and the fun of feeling connected to female golfers around the world through the social group.

I have improved my game greatly with your lessons online. I would recommend them to anyone wanting to play better golf! Thank you for a great website!

Hi Jane, just wanted to say hi and let you know how much I enjoy and have learned from this site. I always talk about how informative this site is with the girls in my golf group.

I’m really enjoying this membership. The lessons are helpful and the camaraderie is unique and special.

I joined a couple of weeks ago. I really like that the lessons are short and only address one thing. So often you are tied in knots after getting too many instructions. Glad I joined.

A year later...and I still love all I’m learning from this group!

I am really impressed with Women's Golf and couldn't be more pleased with my membership and all of the great resources I can access.

Thank you for such a wonderful resource! I just joined and am so thankful for you and the other women golfers in this community.

I just wanted to pop on and tell you how grateful I am that you have a lesson on the scorecard and handicap! I am really enjoying your website and the facebook social group.
