Releasing clubs through impact

What kind of grip do you have?

Yea....but it will not make sense.

In my mind casting was anticipating the circular movement of the swing plane at finish and by casting I was simply getting ahead of myself. Partly a tempo issue....but I stopped thinking of the remainder of the swing after impact as a circle.....in my mind I convinced myself the club head was supposed to just continue forward on a straight line. I would look 2 feet in front of the ball and imagine the club head being that far out and ahead post impact.

Now, of course, in reality that is not the case - - the physics of the swing brought the club around, but I found I was committed to swinging through the ball and was not casting as much. I also trusted myself to simply slow down and develop a better tempo.

There’s your problem

Check your alignment first. If your feet/body are closed to the target, then releasing the club becomes very difficult. Hit a few shots on the range, feeling like your feet/body are more open than usual. Even if it turns out not to be an alignment issue, generally, being slightly open to the target makes releasing the club easier and should help with the hooks.

As for the casting/scooping. Two swing thoughts I have found helpful in the past. 1. Feel your weight shift to the inside of your back foot in the backswing and then into the front foot as you start your downswing. Not getting your weight forward will almost always cause an over-the-top/scoop swing. 2. On your downswing, feel like your body is turning behind the club into impact. Another way to put it is to feel like your hands/club are getting to the ball before your body.
